Up to 700 Pakistani Christian girls are forced into Muslim marriages and conversions each year.

These girls are not nameless. They are daughters with families and futures.

Many come from poor Christian families without the legal documents needed to prove their age in court. Abductors know this and exploit a system that often fails to protect vulnerable Christians.

We're raising $50,000 to help vulnerable girls and their families before it's too late.

Your support helps us:
• Relocate families to safety
• Secure critical legal documents
• Educate girls and parents about the tactics used by abductors

ICC is on the ground, meeting with families in hiding and responding to urgent needs. Together, we can help protect girls at risk and remind them they are not forgotten.

For the past two weeks, ICC’s president Shawn Wright and our regional partners have been on the ground in Nigeria.

Our team spent time sitting with families who are carrying the weight of persecution, building partnerships in the region, and looking at the situation directly so we can better understand how to serve these vulnerable communities with wisdom and care.

While there has been grief in what we’ve seen and heard, there has also been a thread of hope for the future.

We’re grateful for every family willing to share their story, and for the resilience of the church in the midst of suffering.

Comment below to let our team and partners know how you are standing with them in prayer.

Meet Yared. As a Muslim-background believer, he has suffered many losses in his journey to follow Christ. When he turned to Christ after learning about Jesus on a Christian TV program, his parents disowned him.

Though Yared still had a stable job at the time, a colleague betrayed him and told everyone about his faith. Publicly labeled as an infidel in his workplace, his employers pressured him to return to Islam until he was eventually forced to resign. Ever since, he has struggled to financially support his wife and toddler.

Thanks to your giving to ICC’s Community Development fund, we provided Yared with the rent and inventory to start up his own grocery business. This business has offered Yared and his family the stability and dignity to financially support themselves once again.

“This project is more than a job; it's a lifeline,” Yared shared. “After a long period of exhaustion and suffering, I felt God's comforting presence, assuring me I was seen and remembered.”

Shamim and her family have endured a lineage of persecution. As the first to hear about Christ in a devout Muslim family, Shamim’s mother was the first to embrace Jesus, which angered Shamim’s father.

As Shamim’s mother continued proclaiming the Good News about Jesus, she soon fell ill and died. Shamim’s sister explained that their mother died because their embittered father had poisoned her.

Thanks to her sister and late mother’s encouragement, Shamim decided to give church a chance, and soon gave her life to Christ as well. When Shamim worked up the courage to tell her father, she recalled: “He slapped me first, but still, I told him I was ready to die if he decides to kill me.” Shamim was forced to flee the home with her three children (pictured) and her father warned her that if she ever returned, he would kill her along with her children.

Now that Shamim and her family have resettled in a safe location, we provided her children with the school fees to continue their education, grocery staples, household necessities, and more.

“Before your assistance, I felt utterly helpless... Each day was a battle against despair,” Shamim expressed. “Your support in paying school fees has opened doors for my children’s education that I once thought [were] closed forever.” Click here to partner with us as we lift up families that are carrying the burden of generational persecution: https://vist.ly/54zgx
