A new report from International Christian Concern revealed trends threatening Christians around the world, helping believers in the West remember our brothers and sisters in other countries in prayer. The new report, released on July 7, offers testimonies and statistics from more than 20 countries where Christians face significant persecution. “This year’s Global Persecution Index is a sobering reminder that millions of our brothers and sisters in Christ continue to pay a high price for their faith,” International Christian Concern President Shawn Wright said in a statement. “Thousands of Christians have been killed or displaced in attacks designed to eradicate the Christian presence from contested territories,” International Christian Concern noted. “Despite mounting repression, Christianity continues to grow in unexpected places,” International Christian Concern said.
