Raising Awareness of Persecution
It's difficult for many Christians--especially in the West, where full-scale religious persecution is not a pervasive problem--to realize that for many believers around the world, the decision to follow Christ often comes at great cost. Persecution.org is a non-profit organization devoted to tracking and reporting on incidents of persecution around the globe. Among other features at their Web site is a comprehensive list of countries where Christians are persecuted for their faith, along with facts about each nation and suggestions for how you can help spread the word about religious persecution. If you have an interest in missions or in the plight of the worldwide Christian church, this site will prove useful and informative. Source: Internet For Christians
