Human Rights Activist: Many Christians 'Ignorant' of Extent of Persecution
WASHINGTON – A human rights activist with more than 25 years' experience in ministering to persecuted Christians said Tuesday that many Christians are "ignorant" of the extent of persecution globally.
Dr. Ron Boyd-MacMilan, chief strategy officer for Open Doors International, told The Christian Post that the church in America and elsewhere should spread greater awareness of what is happening to Christians in many parts of the world.
"I think the key thing though is that the church needs to get its story out to the worldwide church better," said Boyd-MacMilan. "There are still far too many Christians in the world that are either just ignorant or even deliberately so of the true extent of Christian persecution."
Boyd-MacMilan also told CP that he felt that "we can get out our story better, that there are literally hundreds of millions of Christians in the world who cannot exercise their freedom of worship."
