#RedWednesday Fundraising
STOP RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION – STOP CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION
#RedWednesday is an initiative created by ACN UK on behalf of persecuted Christians:
-
- To advocate for their well being, rights and freedom to live out their faith
- To call for fair treatment of all faith groups and those of no faith
- To educate people on why religious freedom is so important
- To encourage bridge-building and enhance tolerance between faith groups
#RedWednesday week 21st – 29th November
If your church has reopened and you are able to safely attend, please consider holding a fundraising event or a prayer vigil to raise much-needed money and awareness on the ongoing situation of Christian persecution around the world. Find out more below about our week of events.
