Please read this stunning report from World Relief. -JB

In 2024, the U.S. resettled 29,000 Christian refugees from the 50 most persecuted countries.

In 2026, the U.S. has resettled ZERO persecuted Christians.

Did you know that 1 in 7 Christians around the world faces persecution or discrimination because of their faith?

From worship bans to state-sanctioned violence, millions live under constant threat. And they are not alone; believers across many faiths are being targeted for their conviction.

For generations, the United States has been a “golden door” for those fleeing religious persecution — a place to seek refuge and rebuild their lives without fear.

But in 2026, that door has effectively slammed shut.

How does a nation with a centuries-old legacy of refuge suddenly arrive at zero resettlements for religious minorities from the top countries of concern?

Our new report with Open Doors U.S. connects the dots, tracing how U.S. policy evolved, where it stands today and what that shift means for those impacted — including one man, who grew up under Taliban control.

“If we are going to follow Jesus,” says Shamlo, “we should care about our brothers and sisters all across the world — anyone fleeing persecution to find protection and refuge.”

Thank you for having a heart that echoes Shamlo’s words.

Together,
