About this sermon
Actor Jim Caviezel and former Ambassador At-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback are headlining the annual March for Martyrs tomorrow in the nation's capital. The rally kicks off at 3pm on the National Mall followed by the march and a night of prayer at the Museum of the Bible. Around 365 million Christians are persecuted each year with that number on the rise. The event seeks to bring attention to the issue and spark change for those affected. The founder of the event, Gia Chacon, tells us more about this year's march and some of the heavy-hitters headlining the event. Chacon shares why she thinks we continue to see such a rise in Christian persecution and why it is so underreported. This year they are paying particular attention to Nigeria, Iran and Armenia. Chacon discusses more behind that decision. She explains what the impact of this march is every year and what types of tangible effects she has seen since she started doing this. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
