Religious Cleansing: The Eradication of the Global Church

This is the first in a series of posts presenting segments of ACLJ Films’ latest project, “Let My People Go,” which highlights the plight of persecuted Christians across the globe and what the ACLJ is doing to fight the global genocide against the Christian Church.

Americans may face religious discrimination from time to time, but we don’t face religious persecution like other Christians around the world.

Religious persecution is when your life is at risk and your family is endangered simply because of what you believe and how you live your faith.

Religious persecution around the world is a matter of life and death for many Christians.

“Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him… Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” – Exodus 9:1

The scarier thing than the rise of religious persecution is the extreme and radical nature of this persecution – beheadings, crucifixions, mass executions, sex trafficking, and more.

What is the root of this rising persecution? The rise of radical Islamic jihad.

ISIS, Boko Haram, and other Islamic militant groups targeting Christians and other religious minorities is not just persecution, but genocide and religious cleansing.

In a dangerous world where there’s growing chaos and conflict, there is still hope. We take a look at what can be done. And we shine a spotlight on the defenders of the faith – the men and women who are putting their own lives at risk to stand-up for the persecuted Church.
