Building and Bandaging the<br />
Persecuted Church:<br />
• Assisting widows and children<br />
of murdered Christians<br />
• Smuggling Bibles<br />
• Caring for persecuted kids<br />
• Rebuilding communities devastated<br />
by large-scale attacks<br />
• Supporting church planters<br />
in the most dangerous areas<br />
• Broadcasting the Gospel into<br />
closed areas<br />
A THREE-PRONGED ATTACK ON PERSECUTION<br />
Persecution is holistic; the response needs to be as well.<br />
Persecution is a multi-dimensional problem<br />
which deserves a multi-dimensional<br />
response. ICC uses awareness, assistance,<br />
and advocacy to fight persecutors<br />
and to serve the persecuted Church.<br />
When an attack happens, we shout to<br />
the press to push persecuting countries<br />
to protect believers. We arrive on the<br />
ground to bandage and care for the hurting.<br />
Then, we work with the US government<br />
in Washington D.C. to use its power<br />
and influence to punish persecutors and<br />
free imprisoned believers.<br />
