Help persecuted Christians this #RedWednesday

Help Persecuted Christian Children and Families

Imagine being a child forced to leave your home because of violence, not knowing where your family will sleep, whether your education will continue, or what tomorrow will bring.

For many Christian children and families around the world, this is a daily reality.

This #RedWednesday, will you stand in solidarity with Christians who face persecution and hardship because of their faith?

 

Your generosity can support Christians in crisis via family-focused ACN projects in countries around the world: Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, India and other countries in greatest need.

This year, let's turn awareness into action and help bring hope to Christian families who need it most.
