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 />
