 Your lobbying brings hope for Orissa
This week, a delegation from the European Union will visit Orissa state in India, to see the devastating effects of the anti-Christian violence in the region. The letters you’ve sent to your MPs and MEPs have played a really important part in raising EU and parliamentary awareness of this situation.
In the run-up to the visit, the authorities forced over 90 victims out of their makeshift shelters in a market-place. Please pray that the EU delegation will see a true picture of the situation. But don’t stop there, please keep lobbying your MEPs to see justice, reconciliation and rehabilitation in Orissa!
>>> Lobby your MEP to keep EU attention on the issue…

Campaign for justice for New Life Church in Belarus
In December 2009, we saw encouraging results of our lobbying! The European Parliament Resolution on Belarus specifically mentioned New Life Church, and urged the government of Belarus to allow the Christians attending that church to worship freely. But the church is still under pressure – please ask your MP to raise this issue with the Belarusian Government.

Showing solidarity with the Kogui Christians
CSW is delighted to report that representatives from the Kogui Christian community were invited to the British Embassy, following their detention and pressure to recant their faith. They were told that the UK was concerned about their situation, and that the Embassy had received a lot of letters about the case – that’s letters from you! Please pray that the Koguis will feel God’s strength and comfort with them, and that their case would be swiftly resolved.
