I still remember the first time I truly saw the persecuted church. Years ago, an Ethiopian believer named Berhanu told me how communist officials once played Russian roulette with a loaded gun at his head, demanding he deny Christ.
He never did.
That moment changed me. Their courage didn’t feel distant—it felt like an invitation. But back home, I didn’t know how to help others see what I’d seen. I carried those stories quietly, unsure how to invite people into them.
That’s why we’re launching the Advocate movement at Global Christian Relief—to equip everyday believers with the tools I wish I’d had.
What’s an Advocate? An Advocate is someone who says a simple yes to God’s call to stand with persecuted Christians as you share their stories and prayer requests at church, among your friends, and in your community.
You don’t need to be a public speaker or theologian—just have a willing heart.
We’ll walk with you every step of the way. You’ll receive plug‑and‑play tools—credible stories, prayer guides, a slide deck, and simple scripts—so you’re never starting from scratch.
We’ll give you all the tools you need to do this—and do it well. We’ll walk with you so you’re never alone as you share the stories of the persecuted.
Imagine thousands of Advocates across the country—sharing one story, inviting one prayer, taking one next step. That’s how a ripple becomes a movement.
Say a simple yes.
