Founded in 1995, International Christian Concern (ICC) is a non-denominational Christian human rights organization that is dedicated to helping Christian minorities who face discrimination and violence as a result of their faith. ICC provides assistance, seeks to raise awareness of religious persecution, and pressures the US government where needed. ICC is committed to building, supporting, and sustaining the persecuted church. It provides a wide array of financial support, from pastor’s salaries to village wells that are often off-limits to Christians. In the US, ICC tries to bring greater attention to religious persecution by disseminating information through its website, press releases, newsletter, and weekly email updates. ICC is also a strong voice in Washington; it lobbies the US government to push persecuting governments to change their behavior.
