A bit more about Christian Concern:
Christian Concern are passionate about bringing the love, justice, truth, freedom and hope of Jesus Christ to the heart of society. They’re building a movement of Christians who share that passion.
“We believe that Jesus Christ is good news for society and as relevant today as he has ever been. We believe that a flourishing future is a future shaped around Him. But we also know that it’s becoming harder to be a Christian in the UK today. So, we’re at work to make Jesus and His ways known, to protect the freedom to live and speak for him, and to empower Christians to be compassionate and courageous ambassadors. We do that by speaking and influencing, by challenging and protecting, and by mobilising and equipping.”
