As you can see - this website is divided into 4 main parts seperated by the blue/pink lines on the "homepage" to direct you to the sub-sites to the left with a header above each; with the first section immediately to the left consisting of mission and introduction.
*As well as joining forces a an area representative with Voice of the Martyrs (www.persecution.com), we have also now joined with Brigitte Gabriel, who as a Christian, was driven from her homeland of Lebanon as a teenager - Please visit http://www.actforamerica.org/ for more information.

Introduction
The section between these two lines, give you an idea of our mission statement to the left; FREE tools to help you, and what exactly is meant by "Christian Persecution" and how it effects you.
This section between the above pink line and the below blue; addresses some of the main "Ideologies" that are responsible for Christian persecution, destruction of basic human rights, and a threat to society as a whole.
Ideology Defined:
1.
the body of doctrine, myth, belief, etc., that guides an individual, social movement, institution, class, or large group.
2.
such a body of doctrine, myth, etc., with reference to some political and social plan, as that of fascism, along with the devices for putting it into operation.
These could include Nazism, Communism, Islamic fascism, forced secularism, etc.
World Watch China Video China has recently been moved to #12 (from 10) on the World Watch List. 20th century China was shaped
by isolation, communism and hostility towards Christianity. In the face of persecution, Christianity continues to spread in China, a country of 60 to 80 million Christians.
What Can I do to Help?
The next section to the left, shows how you as an individual or group of persons, can get involved and truly make a difference and usher in a "change" to such persecutions that are largely ignored by our media and are ever increasing locally and abroad.
Why not host a seminar? Start an organization? Start a college/university chapter or organization?
Not only is this Biblical, but it is practical and not as difficult as you think. ANYONE can do something; and as Christ as our example, I hope we all "do" do something.
(Please click on the above book to read a Free on-line version of the complete book)
Contention #1- That it is Biblical for us to remember those who are persecuted for following Christ (Hebrews 13:3), to assist in supporting our persecuted Brothers/Sister in Christ, and be ready for our own persecution by putting Christ at the center of it all, ("A servant is not greater than his master; if they persecuted me, they will also persecute you." (John 15:18-20))
Which Church can teach which more about "Christianity" vs. "Churchianity?"
Contention #2- We can learn just as much from the persecuted church as they can us.
Contention #3- Christianity is not a "western" religion, but it is a "world" religion/relationship.
Christianity has it's history and roots in the East and as the new book "The Lost History of Christianity" shows through historic records. We need to remember these roots, and help re-establish these broken chains where Christians in the East struggle through persecution and totalitarian regimes; as well as educate our churches and fellow Christians.
History of Persecution - Please Remember, Pray, and Act
The last part of this section to the left all the way to the bottom lists many, many countries' history of Christian persecution and where they stand now.
Please remember our Persecuted Brothers and Sisters in Christ and share their stories.
Hebrews 13:3 - "Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body." Notice it says to remember AND it says "AS IF YOU WERE IN PRISON WITH THEM." This is a critical part of the complete passage.
I hope and pray this site will serve Christ, the persecuted church that is often forgotten, and help you reading it as well. Thank you and God Bless

Ben Stein probably thought he could do his work on the film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed and not himself endure the kind of personal attacks that, in the film, he defended Darwin critics against. In fact, what he found was that Darwinism is at the root of the worldview of the materialist Left and even the materialist Right. You can't say or do anything to offend them. You can't even advocate academic freedom.
The people who demanded free speech in the 60s and shouted down figures of authority are now the tenured faculty and newsroom editors of the Establishment. And now they are disallowing any criticism at all.
So, unlikely as it seems, Ben Stein became a martyr. Richard Dawkins intervened at the University of Vermont last spring to deny Stein a gig as Commencement Speaker. Now Ben has been disingenously trashed by The New York Times. Typically, when firing Stein as a business columnist the Times couldn't give the actual reason--which is ideological--and instead had to insinuate that he had a "conflict of interest." That is a joke as well as an insult.
Actually, I think Ben may come to enjoy the role of martyr. Like many of us, he never really suffered much discrimination in his life and may find it an interesting experience. As middle age creeps into Medicare Age, he may even find the sting of the lash will stimulate his muse--his comic muse, I hope. It is notable that his American Spectator column on the firing has generated hundreds of comments, almost all favorable, the others sublimely ignorant and smug.
Think of the new material you've been handed, Ben. Maybe the Intelligent Designer is priming you for a book!

Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. - Hebrews 13:3
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
—Matthew 5:10-12
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
—John 15:18-20
When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
—Acts 14:21-22
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
—Romans 8:35-39
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
—2 Corinthians 4:8-11
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
—2 Corinthians 12:10
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
—2 Timothy 3:12
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
—1 Peter 4:12-14, 16
Our Brothers & Sisters through the world - all deserve at least the freedom, to human rights and to at least have the freedom to choose to follow Christ is they choose...

Silencing the Christians - Full Episode 2
Picture of the Week
An Iranian judge told these two young Christian converts that
they would be executed for daring to leavethe Religion of Peace.
They told him to get on with it.
Islam is known for denying others the very tolerance it demands for itself.
Switzerland recently voted to ban minaret construction, outraging local Muslims, the majority of whom are from Kosovo and Turkey. Yet, over a hundred historic Christian churches have been destroyedin Kosovo since 2000, (including this one, in which a Muslim is relieving himself).
So what is the most dangerous ideology for Christianity in the 22nd Century? While I would say anything outside of Christ, I will end with a quote by a genius who is much more qualified to answer such a question:
“Islam is willing to destroy for the sake of its ideology. I want to suggest that the choice we face is really not between religion and secular atheism, as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and others have positioned it. Secularism simply does not have the sustaining or moral power to stop Islam. Even now, Europe is demonstrating that its secular worldview cannot stand against the onslaught of Islam and is already in demise. In the end, America’s choice will be between Islam and Jesus Christ. History will prove before long the truth of this contention…”
