Vice President Mike Pence

“Today, more than ever, an urgent need exists for Christians who are returning to their homelands in spite of incredible danger. At Open Doors USA, we applaud the administration’s commitment to persecuted Christians throughout areas once occupied by ISIS, and we want to thank President Trump and Vice President Pence for their attentiveness to this crucial issue. Open Doors is on the ground in Iraq, working to build and rebuild homes for thousands of Christians along the Nineveh Plain and working to address their needs in a holistic way. We are hoping and praying for a new future for those who have had to flee in the midst of severe persecution. We are grateful for the commitment of this administration to preserving these ancient Christian communities, among other religious minority groups.”

Open Doors USA is currently calling on the U.S. government to pay particular attention to the Middle East in order to help restore and rebuild Christian and other religious minorities’ communities. Americans are urged to continue to lend their voices in supporting persecuted Christians and urging that more be done in the area.
