Night for the Martyrs was held in the evening at the JW Marriott hotel and featured testimonies from survivors of Christian persecution.
Gia Chacon, president of For the Martyrs, organized the marches. “I believe we can all unite around this cause with one voice as the body of Christ in the United States advocating for our persecuted brothers and sisters,” Chacon said. “We all see what’s going on in Afghanistan right now. Christians are being hunted down and killed.”
Chacon said, “This is happening in so many other nations across the world, and so few people are talking about it.. That’s why we’ve chosen to move the March for the Martyrs to Washington, D.C. The number of Christians killed for their faith was up by 30 percent since last year.
“If Christians continue to be persecuted for their faith, why does this issue have so much silence around it?” she asked the crowd. “Why does the world remain silent as Christians are targeted and executed for their faith in Christ? ”
“We’re going to remember every single Christian who laid down their life for the sake of the Gospel and we’re going to bring attention to every Christian who is suffering under radical governments, under extremist groups.”
“We’re marching for the over 340 million Christians around the world who suffer for the name of Jesus,” Chacon added. “We’re marching for the people who lay down their lives every single day to go to church, to own a Bible. To even say that they believe in Jesus, in some countries, is illegal.”
