The persecution watchdog has released a new report on the purpose of filling the “gap” for completely reporting about Christian persecution around the world.
ISAAC Six, a senior director of Global Christian Relief (GCR) Advocacy (GCR), said to CBN News, “A well -confirmed and carefully reviewed information sources needed a complete report. Ta. “These are public sauces contained in the database we entrusted, called violent incident databases, and the report is built based on that database.”

One of some of other reports in this area is that they are essentially relatively qualitative, dependent on interviews and available numbers, and essentially “estimates”. 。 This is valid and useful, but he stated that GCR’s new “red list” works slightly different.
“Our report number may look a bit lower than those of them, but we only use the numbers that we can definitely check,” he said. It is strongly verified and cannot be refuted.
With this methodology, researchers have even confirmed hundreds of arrests developed in North Korea, a hidden country known for being the worst persecution of Christians around the world. 。 That’s not all.
“Since the acquisition of the Taliban, I have been able to confirm that Afghanistan is almost a closed box,” said 6. “Everything is underground. There is a network, but it is very difficult to get a publicly verified report.”

And although there are many kinds of persecution and pressure persecution of believers, six people stated that it was a “major way for persecutions to drive out the church.”
“This is not just a sporadic act of anger and violence against Christians,” he said. “In many cases, this is a well -organized, systematic, long -term, and a comprehensive goal here is to shatter and extinguish the church. We talk in this report. This is an existing crisis for these many communities.
One of the unique aspects of the Red List is that the country is ranked not only for overall persecution indicators but also by category. Killing is only one of such categories. Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Russia are the top five lists.
As CBN News reported, Nigeria has been found to be the most deadly country for believers by Watchdogs. The “Red List” is no exception, and the numbers in the report are very amazing.
“We have recorded about 10,000 kills of Christians in the northern and central part of the country,” said 6. “And again, the systematic violence is fucked and led by groups such as Boko Haram, the Islamic state West Africa, and subsequent armed groups.”
Eventually, Isaac said that American Christians need to understand the degree of fear.
“The American church must really ask how terrible some of these stories are,” he said. “It’s not just violence, not just killing. It’s a brutal atrocities, and frankly, the church must wake up. Only a small part of the American followers. I even know what is happening. “
The six also worked on the top five Russian arrangements for the killing.
“Russia … both killed and arrested twice in the report,” said 6. “The killing is now occurring mainly in the area called Dagestan in the Northern Caucasus area of Russia. It is adjacent to Georgia and Azerbaijan in the Caspian Sea.”
He continued, “And in Dagestan, you … you have an extremist who targets orthodox Russian Christians, targeting the priest and church, which is the killing of those killings. Most of it is happening.
The six people said that some of the killings were occurring in eastern Ukraine, as the Russian Ukrain War continues to be furious.
“Many of the churches are going underground in eastern Ukraine,” he said.
Six wants “Red List” to be a valuable resource. This helps people navigate and understand these permanent problems of persecution.
“When I looked over the report and finally saw the numbers (I thought),” I have a lot of things we do here, “he said. “We have worked in this field, but we are very focused in fields that are very needed. That’s good … but I looked at it,” I’m the worst body of Christ. For areas that are being attacked in a way, we need support and prayer waves from American churches and churches around the world. ” “
Since these areas have been identified in the “Red List”, prayer and action can be done easier. Click here for details on reports and surveys.
