The campaign may be over. The mission is not.

Christianity is widely recognised by many international monitoring organisations as the most persecuted religion in the world.

This year alone, credible reports document thousands of Christians killed, thousands more kidnapped, churches burned, priests murdered, worshippers attacked, Christian girls forcibly converted, cemeteries desecrated, statues vandalised, and believers imprisoned simply because they follow Christ.

In Nigeria alone, reports indicate more than 2,500 Christians were killed and around 2,800 abducted during the first half of this year. Across Europe, more than 230 verified anti-Christian hate crimes were recorded in just six months. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India, Ethiopia, Pakistan, China, Nicaragua, Israel, Sudan, and many other countries, Christians continue to face violence, intimidation, discrimination, and attacks on their places of worship.

Yet too often these stories receive little attention.

We are told to stay quiet.

We are told to accept ridicule.

We are told that defending our faith is somehow offensive.

No more.

Standing up for Christ does not mean responding with hatred. It does not mean violence. It means refusing to be silent when our faith is mocked, our communities are targeted, and Christians are treated as though they deserve fewer protections than everyone else.

Our Lord told us to turn the other cheek in the face of personal insult. He did not tell us to remain silent in the face of injustice. Throughout history, Christians have spoken boldly for truth while responding with courage, conviction, and love.

That is what we must do now.

The Divine Playhouse campaign may be over, but the work has only just begun.

My next mission is to advocate for the equal protection of Christianity. Every community deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Christians should be no exception.

If you believe Christianity deserves the same protection from hatred and discrimination as every other faith, I invite you to stand with me.

The battle for equal treatment continues.

God bless.
