In the Middle East, the Christian population has fallen dramatically in the last century due to extreme and violent persecution. However, in Israel, Christians are free to worship and practice their faith freely, and the Christian population is steadily growing. As Christians, we are obligated to support our persecuted brothers and sisters. For that reason, as we pray for the worldwide persecuted church, we likewise support Israel which is the only safe place in the Middle East for Christians.
