If you are an American believer interested in advocacy for persecuted Christians who are beaten, imprisoned, tortured, and even murdered for their faith in Jesus Christ, I know of two opportunities through Open Doors.

Special Envoy

Open Doors is encouraging Americans to contact their representatives about H.R. 440, which would “require the Obama administration to appoint a Special Envoy for religious minorities in the Near East and South Central Asia.” You can do this right now online.

Congressional Scorecard

Open Doors also keeps a Congressional Scorecard if you want to know how your representatives are voting on religious freedom issues.

H. R. 440 about the special envoy will be on the scorecard.
