Statistics

Some 215 million Christians worldwide faced persecution for their faith last year. Researchers for the organization estimate 1 in 12 Christians live where their faith is “illegal, forbidden, or punished.” On average 250 Christians were killed every month. Christians are "the most widely targeted religious community, suffering terrible persecution globally" according to a study released this year by University of Notre Dame's Center for Ethics and Culture, the Religious Freedom Institute, and Georgetown University's Religious Freedom Research Project. From the horrific beheadings of Coptic Christians in Libya by the Islamic State, to the mutilation of Indonesian Christians who refused to convert to Islam.

"No words can express my feelings... Step Forward's training course was amazing. It was highly beneficial and touched me deeply. Your efforts and love influenced all who attended. I appreciate every word I have heard, and I intend to convey all lectures to others - either with the upper Egypt Step4ward group or alone. God bless you all... Dr. Michel, Dr. Steve, Pastor Steve, Dr. Dan, Dr. Carter, Mrs. Marj, Mrs. Carol and everyone who prays and supports us." - Safwat Adib, Assuit Egypt
