"And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing; –
Oh, rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing!”
William H Sears, 1849
Thank you to everyone who wrote messages of solidarity to #Christians in #Nigeria. This is Luka Binniyat, a journalist who was imprisoned for 96 days, one of several Christian journalists targeted by authorities in Kaduna. Luka is still awaiting judgment #nevergiveup
The Government in #Mexico must "act swiftly to facilitate a safe return for and the restoration of property to all of those who have been forcibly displaced" https://t.co/iNDcuL7pnl
Many of you wrote beautiful messages of solidarity to Christians in #Nigeria, which we delivered last month. These people all lost loved ones in attacks by #Fulani militia. It means so much for them to know that they are not forgotten. Please keep them in your prayers.
Thanks to all 6,450 of you who signed our petition to protect Christians & other minorities from #Fulani militia attacks in #Nigeria. Yesterday our CEO @mervthomas met with @tariqahmadbt@foreignoffice to present the petition and discuss this crisis. Pls keep praying for change
"Standing up for the rights of others can often be dangerous. In some countries, both secular human rights defenders and faith actors can be targeted with vilification, hate speech and even death" @mervthomas writing for the @foreignoffice https://t.co/lhwll05Im4 #HumanRightsDay
"The right to freedom of religion or belief, protects the right of all people to live their lives according to their deepest convictions"

Father God, today we bring #Vietnam to you in #prayer. We ask that you would watch over its human rights defenders: thank you for their bravery and perseverance. Please release those who have been imprisoned for their work, so that they can continue fighting for justice. ...
