Legislative work continues in Washington, DC – Persecution in Vietnam / Christians suppressed in Vietnam / Iraq refusing recognition of evangelicals / Female genital mutilation in Sudan (Maybe) Can it be stopped elsewhere? / Destruction at only Christian bookstore in Amman, Jordan
Moving factories from China to Vietnam, Christians still persecuted. In May the Religious Freedom Coalition participated in a conference with many other organizations to call attention to the persecution of Christians in Vietnam.

Capitol Hill advocacy work moves to Zoom – Religious Freedom Roundtable / Senator Lankford adds faith-based groups to Payroll Protection Program / Caring for Christian children who are victims of Islamic terror / West Bank and Middle East Christians refused coronavirus aid
Many of the meetings I attended in person in Washington,
