Christianity is the largest religion in the world with over 2.2 billion followers or nearly 30% of the worldwide population. While Christian ministries remain strong with many faithful believers, in certain regions, like the Middle East, these religious followers are in the minority, which can bring persecution and tumult. Here is some insight into this issue so Christians in other areas of the world can help.  

Do Christians in the Middle East Experience Persecution Today?

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam originated in the Middle East. Today, however, nearly 95% of residents in this region are Muslim. As a result, practicing Christians in Islamic states can face persecution, violence, or the threat of being uprooted from their homes. Those of Christian faith remain strong and devoted to their religion, but as with other times in history, it can come at a cost. As hate speech and negativity grow in this region, it’s necessary for Christians worldwide to recognize these trying times and look for ways to show support.

What Can Your Christian Ministry Do to Help?

When going to church to worship and commune with other like-minded individuals in comfort and safety, consider sending prayers to those who are in a trying situation. Talk to your minister and ask about charities and other ways you can give back to those who are less fortunate. By lending a hand, embracing the power of prayer, and remaining a steadfast and faithful member of your own Christian ministry, you’ll find opportunities to help bolster the spirits of those who are working toward their own religious freedom. Reading books by Christian authors about faith and how to spread the love of the Holy Spirit can also bring peace and inspire you to help others.
