Over nine months ago, Huma Younus, a 14-year-old Christian girl living in Pakistan, was abducted at gunpoint, allegedly by a man hired by Huma’s parents as a driver for the family.

While in his captivity, Huma has been forced to convert to Islam, forced to “marry” her kidnapper, repeatedly raped, and isolated in a single room of her captor’s home.

Huma will be lost forever unless we cry out on her behalf and embarrass the authorities behind this travesty of justice.

We beg you to help us bring justice for Huma. By signing this petition, you will be telling Pakistani authorities to address this grave injustice and return Huma to her family: www.persecution.org/take-action/petition/

On April 4, Fulani militants ambushed a village in Nigeria, killing a man named Ibrahim John. In the wake of this tragedy, Ibrahim’s blind widow, Jummai, and six chil­dren were left without their husb

In order to support Jummai and her children during this difficult time, ICC stepped in to assist them in their transition. First, we pro­vided rent for the family to move into a new apartment where they will be safer from the violence plaguing their community.

Next, we provided the family with sewing equipment and a storefront so that they can support themselves financially. One of the older children will operate the business in order to provide financially for his mother and siblings. He expressed, "Thank you so much, ICC, for all the items, [especially] the sewing equipment you bought for us! I promise to work hard to support my blind mother and my younger ones. God will bless you. May God strengthen you and see you through in all that you’re doing in Jesus name."

Lastly, to sustain the family until the sew­ing business brings in a steady income, we provided them with a food package consisting of dietary staples such as rice, oil, beans, salt, maize, and more. Jummai shared, "I’m so grateful to God for the support from ICC. God will bless you as you continue with the good works. This chance of living that you’ve given me and my children will forever be remembered." Read more: bit.ly/3bCo1b2 … See More
