The ACN Week of Witness from 25 November to 1 December will be held every year with talks and exhibitions throughout the country on the theme of Christian persecution.

Today, we will look at the deepening crisis in the other three countries where Christian persecution has worsened: the Central African Republic, India, and Sri Lanka.

Education in China is used for social conditioning. In some regions pupils were reportedly made to sign a statement saying they will “promote atheism, and oppose belief in God”.

Over the next few weeks, we will delve into the stories of these people and examine the state of persecution in these countries. As we do, I invite you to ponder what we in the West can do to make a difference for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ.
