WEA religious liberty Commission
Defending Persecuted Christians

About the RLC
The Religious Liberty Commission (RLC) is monitoring the religious liberty situation in more than 100 nations, defending persecuted Christians, informing the global Church, challenging the Church to pray and giving all possible assistance to those who are suffering. The RLC also makes fact finding trips and meets with governments and ambassadors. At the UN the RLC reports about the situation and arranges special hearings with Christians from countries under pressure
Vision Statement
To serve as a coordinating and networking team within the international political advocacy community that can effectively serve evangelicals being persecuted, harassed and oppressed because of their faith. We do this primarily by responding to and partnering with WEA member organizations.
International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church
IDOP is a time set apart for us to remember thousands of our Christian brothers and sisters around the world who suffer persecution, simply because they confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
