<strong>2016</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

Trips<br />

Investigate, Document, Assist<br />

“It is good that you came here,” a persecuted<br />

Christian leader from rural India shared during a recent<br />

trip. “Now you can get the real picture and understand<br />

what is going on.”<br />

ICC continually sends our staff to the world’s hotbeds<br />

of Christian persecution. From places like<br />

Nigeria to Egypt to India, these teams were able to<br />

meet face-to-face with Christians experiencing intense<br />

persecution.<br />

Through these trips, we are able to assess the<br />

needs of persecuted Christian communities, record<br />

and share testimonies from individual Christians<br />

affected by persecution, and collect vital data regarding<br />

persecution in order to advocate on behalf<br />

of those Christians who have been rendered voiceless<br />

by persecution.<br />
