When we gather freely to worship, it’s hard to imagine the dangers others face
In some parts of the world churches are monitored and placed under surveillance. Places of worship are destroyed, and religious leaders are imprisoned or even tortured. For many, simply attending a service can be a deadly risk.
Your church can be part of this mission
At CSW, we believe no one should suffer for their beliefs. Every day, we work to defend those facing persecution and injustice — and your church can be part of that.
By praying, campaigning and giving, you can stand with people in their suffering and help challenge the injustice they face.
