John,
We've got some breaking news, and we are up against a looming deadline.
Shahzad's parents are pleading for prayer before THIS WEEK's hearing. He was only 16 years old when he was arrested, and now he faces the death penalty in Pakistan on false blasphemy charges.
A radical Muslim group made up the charges and pressured the judge to execute this young man.
Our senior legal team has just returned from Pakistan, where we were prepping our Pakistani legal team for an emergency oral argument in just 2 days.
Christians around the world face murderous mobs, torture, unimaginable prison conditions, and even execution for their faith. We've never seen anything like it.
We MUST act now before more Christians are slaughtered for their faith. We need immense resources to defeat these relentless assaults on vulnerable Christians.
This is our most critical time of the year, and we're launching our Faith & Freedom Year-End Drive. Have your gift DOUBLED today to save dying Christians. $5 becomes $10; $20 becomes $40.
Have Your Gift Doubled To Defend Dying Christians.
Shahzad needs us, and we need you. Time is running out. Sign our petition to save his life.

The war on our Christian faith is escalating, especially during the Christmas season. An HOA banned a homeowner's cross because it's "denominational." Christians are being banned from going to church on Sunday by their employers. And the Bible is even being banned.
We face massive court deadlines this week to defend Christians and churches, and we urgently need you to take action with us.
Sign: Defeat the Left's War on Our Christian Faith.

God's Word not welcome? The ACLJ is taking action to defend the religious freedom of a poll worker who was ordered to hide his Bible by an election official. This is a gross violation of the First Amendment. We're taking direct legal action.

The ACLJ secured a huge victory this week in our lawsuit against a school district after a student was forced to perform an explicit monologue in class. After over 18 months of litigation, the settlement affirms parental rights and promotes accountability for inappropriate educational content.

Finally, this is our most critical month of the year. The lives we can help save and the impact we can make through our work are determined by your support. Have your gift doubled through our Faith & Freedom Year-End Drive.
God Bless,
