CSW has just released Connect & Encourage, an updated list of persecuted Christians and other individuals around the world who supporters can write to this Easter.

The new list includes the details of prisoners, as well as Christian human rights activists, pastors and lawyers, all of whom are vulnerable to threats and intimidation.

Cards and letters of support are an invaluable means of showing persecuted Christians that they are not alone or forgotten. One prisoner in Egypt recently wrote:

“ …your card fulfilled the purpose for which it was sent. I was overjoyed, comforted, encouraged and felt loved.”

So send a message of hope and love to a persecuted Christian this Easter and let them know you care.

CSW plans to update Connect & Encourage three times a year.
