private homes, informal gatherings, and other hidden meeting places. The report says the shutdowns have been systematic since 2017 and reflect a broader legal and administrative system that makes public Christian worship increasingly difficult. According to the report, at least 58 Protestant churches have been closed since 2006, including nearly all those linked to the Protestant Church of Algeria. Christians say state approval for non-Muslim worship is rarely granted, leaving even small gatherings vulnerable to police raids, detention, and prosecution. The article also says Algerian law can treat Christian witness, public discussion of faith, or attempts to share Christianity with Muslims as criminal acts. Despite that pressure, Algeria’s Christian community has continued to grow, though much of its life now takes place quietly and out of public view. #Algeria #PersecutedChristians #ProtestantChurch #ReligiousFreedom #ChristianPersecution #UndergroundChurch

Please Help to Save Adan – A Brave Christian Girl in Pakistan Fighting for Her Life Imagine being a young Christian girl like Adan, kidnapped from your home, raped, forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint, and "married" off to your attacker. She somehow escaped, but now they're calling her an apostate and sending death threats. All because she was born Christian in a place where girls like her are seen as easy prey. Adan's begging for help—her only "crime" is surviving. This isn't just her story; it's happening to so many others. The heartbreaking truth: Every year, around 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls in Pakistan are abducted, forcibly converted, and married to their captors. From 2021–2025, the Centre for Social Justice documented 515 cases—160 involving Christian girls like Adan, and 72% of victims are minors (over 20% under 14). It hits hardest in Punjab and Sindh, targeting poor families from brick kilns or servant communities. Courts often buy the fake "conversion certificates" and send girls back to their abusers. Christians are just 2% of Pakistan's population, yet this persecution is relentless. Adan needs safe shelter, real legal help, and global pressure before she's killed or forced back. We can't look away. Share her story, tag human rights groups, authorities, and your reps. Demand justice for Adan and an end to these forced conversions and child marriages. #SaveAdan #StopForcedConversions #JusticeForPakistaniMinorities #ReligiousFreedom

This is a reality many people are unaware of. In some parts of the world, choosing to follow Jesus can lead to social pressure, loss of community, or even legal consequences. 🥺 These are not distant stories. They are present-day realities shaped by culture, law, and circumstance. Understanding this helps explain why access to the gospel cannot be taken for granted everywhere.🙏🏼 #gospel #faith #god #mission #ReligiousFreedom
