	Be the voice for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ. Dear Friend, Did you know that 75 percent of the world's population live in areas with severe religious restrictions? Around 215 million Christians across the globe are suffering "high, very high, or extreme persecution" simply because they call on the Name of Jesus Christ. This week, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, in partnership with Samaritan's Purse, will host the World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians in Washington, D.C. We are bringing persecuted Christians and advocates from 130 countries to our nation's capital—to put a big spotlight on this crisis and connect victims, leaders, and influencers to help bring about a change. Here's how you can help the persecuted church: Donate and help bring awareness to their plight.   Pray for Christians in nations where persecution is high. Download the World Watch List map.   Share with friends on social media and ask them to pray.   Contact your elected officials and ask them to take a stand. Your brothers and sisters in Christ are risking everything to take a stand for Jesus. Will you take a stand for them? Please pray and give—before it's too late. May God richly bless you, Franklin Graham   Give Online   "Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." —Hebrews 13:3, NIV
