from Release International:
Release hosts seminar for key parliamentarians at National Prayer Breakfast:
Release International is partnering with Christians in Parliament to host this year’s National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast. Release is presenting the seminar Persecution in Africa: God’s Goodness in Times of Trial.
The seminar includes a briefing on Africa and features contributions from three of Release International’s partners, including a video from Archbishop Benjamin Kwashi, which you can watch below.
Each year, more than 700 MPs, peers and church leaders gather in the Houses of Parliament to pray for the UK Parliament and government. Their aim is to build relationships between church leaders and local MPs, and to celebrate and reflect on the relevance of the Christian faith to public life in the UK.
Africa focus
The focus of this year’s Release International seminar on July 5 is the growing violence in the Sahel region of Africa and Nigeria. Release’s latest annual Persecution Trends report has identified the Sahel region of Africa and Nigeria as areas of particular concern.
