Have you heard of the “refugee church”?

Recent estimates from Open Doors show that a total of “84 million people have been forced to leave their homes, either internally displaced, or, for an estimated 26.6 million, as refugees in other nations.”

And “a significant number are Christians, fleeing religious persecution.”

In addition:

Often, when people have fled their homes, they are even more vulnerable. Christian women fleeing their homes and seeking safety report sexual assault to be the leading source of persecution, with multiple reports of women and children subjected to rape, sexual slavery, and more. … As jihadism spreads and destabilizes nations, we can expect this Christian exodus to multiply further.

Scripture commands believers to minister to the needs of refugees. LRI’s Christ-centered, on-the-ground partners are living out Deut. 10:18: “He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.”

Please join them today by giving generously to empower their work among Christian refugees in foreign lands.

Life in regions or countries that are hostile to the Gospel is already difficult enough. Being forced from your home, your job, your family—your everything—compounds the suffering our brothers and sisters endure for their faith.

I urge you to stand with Liberty Relief International now.

God bless you for your obedience to His Word and for your compassion for the stranger, orphan and widow.

He sees your heart … and the needy around the world see the tangible results of your faithfulness!
