John, Blood is running in the streets of Nigeria again. Just days ago, seven Christians were stabbed to death, and eight more were left with horrific wounds. Yet, the world barely blinks. It comes right after 200 Christians were killed in a recent overnight Islamic rampage – and just this summer, we've seen more than 377 Christian lives claimed. Through it, we're remaining vigilant. Nigerians question their Muslim president's failure to use troops to protect Christians. We do too. ISIS-linked militias are determined to eradicate Christianity in Nigeria, and they might be successful if we don't engage and demand that Nigerian leadership act. In just days, we're filing at the U.N. Human Rights Council to deliver oral interventions on behalf of persecuted Christians in Nigeria, as we have recently for Syria and the Congo (DRC). Until this violence ends, we are applying unyielding legal pressure to hold these nations accountable. I recently stood before the U.N. in Geneva to speak for persecuted Christians in the Congo – and I saw the chilling apathy firsthand. That's why we cannot stop. We're in the final 4 days of our 35 Years of Victory Drive. Have your Tax-Deductible gift DOUBLED to enable us to advocate for the persecuted and save lives: $5 becomes $10; $20 becomes $40 before our deadline. Have Your Gift DOUBLED To Save Dying Christians. There have been unimaginable atrocities targeting Christians across the globe this year. We need your support and your voice as we move to save them. Sign Petition: Save Dying Christians in Global Hot Spots. Since my remarks highlighting the dire plight of Christians in the Congo (DRC) at the U.N. in Geneva, violence has continued to besiege that devastated nation. Another 49 Christians were massacred while attending an early morning prayer vigil at church. We've submitted critical interventions at the U.N., sent a crucial letter to Secretary of State Rubio, and helped craft a congressional resolution now championed by Rep. Chris Smith. We aren't giving up, but we need you standing with us. Sign: Protect Dying Christians in the Congo. After the shooting stopped, the scale of the massacre in Syria quickly came to light: 3,300 dead. Christians and other religious minorities slain in the name of radical Islam. Such evil. Just moments before Sunday worship on the day the raid started, Syrian Pastor Mezher of Good Shepherd Evangelical Church – along with 20 members of his family – was brutally massacred by radical Islamists. Church leaders in the region are pleading for intervention to save them. As we take this fight to the U.N., we need your voice to intervene – demanding action. Sign: Protect Christians in Syria From Massacre.
