Red Wednesday is an annual event organized by Aid to the Church in Need, dedicated to raising awareness of the persecution endured by our brothers and sisters in faith.
Currently, an estimated 327 million Christians worldwide live in countries where religious
persecution is rampant. They are at risk of being attacked, arrested, imprisoned, tortured, and,
in the worst cases, killed, solely on the basis of their beliefs. It is also estimated that 75 percent
of religiously motivated violence targets Christians, possibly making them the most persecuted
religious group in the world. We want to make their plight known and to stand in solidarity with
them.
This year, Red Wednesday will take place on November 19, 2025. Please pray for persecuted Christians.

Whatever you choose to do—large or small—know that it will bring hope and spiritual support
to our project partners who suffer for their faith. Our prayer is their strength.
