Emergency Summit on Crimes Against Christians
2025-12-09 14:30 - 16:00 | U.S. Capitol, First St SE, Washington, DC, 20004, United States
Co-Hosted by Senator Josh Hawley, Congressman Riley Moore, Gia Chacon (Founder, For the Martyrs), Sean Feucht (Founder, Light a Candle Global)
WHAT:
The Emergency Summit on Crimes Against Christians will bring lawmakers, survivors, experts, and faith leaders together for a high-stakes national briefing on the escalating violence facing Christians around the world— most urgently in Nigeria, the deadliest nation on earth for believers.
Co-hosted by Senator Josh Hawley and Rep. Riley Moore, this convening will spotlight the crisis, elevate survivor testimony, and rally support behind Rep. Moore’s Nigeria legislation and the joint Hawley–Moore bill. It is a decisive moment for Congress to confront the reality that Christians are being targeted, abducted, and killed for their faith, and to establish the moral and legislative groundwork for forthcoming White House engagement on this issue.
Why Now:
Christian persecution is accelerating, especially in Nigeria.
Thousands of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned. Families displaced. Women and children abducted. Nigeria remains the epicenter of anti Christian violence worldwide.
Congressional leadership is building momentum.
Rep. Moore’s Nigeria bill and the joint Hawley and Moore legislation represent the strongest Congressional push in years to confront this crisis. This convening gathers the coalition needed to move them forward.
A unified national response is taking shape.
Faith leaders, survivors, advocates, and members of Congress are aligning around a shared mission. This convening prepares the public narrative and the policy foundation for what comes next at the White House.
Desired Outcomes:

National coverage that identifies the killing of Christians as targeted violence carried out because of their faith and recognizes this pattern as a form of crimes against humanity, with Nigeria named as the deadliest country for Christians.

Public pressure on Congress to advance Rep. Moore’s Nigeria bill and the Hawley and Moore legislation, with clear expectations for movement and next steps.

Survivor testimony that documents these faith targeted crimes in detail and gives lawmakers the grounding and moral urgency needed to act.

A defined coalition of senators, representatives, and faith leaders who publicly commit to confronting Christian Persecution and supporting concrete legislative action.

A clear narrative that highlights the President’s steps to date and positions the forthcoming measures as the natural and necessary continuation of America’s response to crimes against Christians.

The promise of redemption followed immediately upon man’s rebellion against God and rejection from the Garden of Eden. From the heart of a loving God came the promise of one of Eve’s sons who would arise to crush the head of the serpent. And so from the earliest days of creation we see a desperate yearning in the heart of man; a yearning for a restored creation, restored relationships and restored fellowship with a holy God.
Their firstborn, Cain, perhaps he was the redeemer?…but no. With each passing generation Adam’s family looked in vain for the promised Victor, but each new hero was himself stained with the sin of his father, Adam. Each one struggled, failed and fell into obscurity. And the people yearned. Moses? No. Joshua? No. Saul, David, Solomon, Elijah? No. And the people yearned, “O come, O come Immanuel!”
But when the fulness of God’s time had come the promise was fulfilled, not through a man, a son of Adam, but through Mary, a daughter of Eve to whom the original promise was made. Jesus himself came with a yearning, the yearning of Yahweh for restoration to his chosen people. Jesus lived with a passionate yearning to do the will of the Father. By his resurrection, the Victor has made a way home for us. Soon our yearning will become eternal rejoicing.
Join us for this year’s Christmas Concerts at IBC, “The Yearning.”
