Although we’re restricted in many ways, encouragingly there’s still so much you can do to speak up for those suffering for their faith.
Invite a CSW speaker
Even when churches are meeting online, we can still provide a speaker – either by sending a pre-recorded video, or joining live. The message can also include encouraging testimonies about drawing close to God in isolation, from those who endured prison because of their beliefs.
To book, call 020 8329 0010 or visit csw.org.uk/inviteaspeaker
Use your voice
You can still speak out – whether that’s for the children of Du Merci orphanage in Nigeria, forced from their home while the only father they’ve ever known languishes in jail. Or for over one million Uyghur Muslims in China forced into ‘re-education camps’ amid the threat of COVID-19. Take action now at csw.org.uk/campaigns
Join online events
We’re finding new ways to meet, and the results have been very exciting – including a prayer meeting for Nigeria attended by over 250 people! Our weekly ‘Faith in Extraordinary Times’ series shares a powerful
video interview with guests like Meriam Ibrahim, who was sentenced to death for apostasy in Sudan in 2014 but eventually released. Catch past episodes on youtube.com/cswuk and, for the latest events info, check csw.org.uk/events or call 020 8329 0010.
Set up a regular gift
The coronavirus has hit vulnerable faith communities hard. They were already suffering harassment and violence for their beliefs, and their situation has only been made worse by the crisis. We’ve seen countless people set free to believe over the years, but many others still need help.
When three churches in Indonesia were attacked in May 2018, we were able to visit them and respond to the crisis they were facing. This wouldn’t have been possible without regular gifts from people like you.
