\nThe Center for the Study of Global Christianity reported that an average of 90,000 Christians are martyred annually, while close to 215 million are persecuted for their faith. So, while U.S. citizens are blessed to experience religious freedom, Christian persecution continues to grow stronger across the world with each day that passes.<\/p>\n
Joshuacord is a nondenominational organization that\u2019s dedicated to raising awareness and providing support to the oppressed and persecuted Christians around the world. It\u2019s teamed up with film director Jordan Allott, the founder of In Altum Productions; and Paul Jallo, of Jallo Oil Distributors, who is also one of the executive producers, to create \u201cChristians in the Mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n
Patrick Carberry, founder Joshuacord, witnessed firsthand the persecution of religious minority Christians during his time working with the government in the Middle East. It was then that he realized he had to do something to help. This led to the founding of Joshuacord and the creation of \u201cChristians in the Mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the demolished streets of Aleppo, Syria and northern Iraq, to rural villages in India, South Sudan and Egypt, what stood out to me the most during my travels filming \u2018Christians in the Mirror,\u2019 was not just the unbelievable persecution these Christian communities endured, but the inspiring faith and fortitude they displayed in the face of all that devastation,\u201d Allott says.<\/p>\n
Allott has filmed projects in more than 25 countries with themes ranging from Catholic Spirituality and mountain climbing to international human rights and American politics. One of his previous films, \u201cOur Last Stand\u201d was screened all over the world and in several European parliaments.<\/p>\n
\u201cChristians in the Mirror\u201d is an expository documentary that is a provocation for Christians to look into their \u201cChristian mirror\u201d as a disciple of Christ and to see what the reflection brings to light. It\u2019s the hope of this documentary\u2019s makers and producers that the film will not only evoke sympathy and compassion, but inspire action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe persecution of Christians, is not just a Christian faith issue, it\u2019s also a human rights issue and we should all be concerned and act to help those in need,\u201d Carberry says. \u201cMy wish is that this documentary will bring awareness to these injustices.\u201d<\/p>\n
This Washington, D.C. premiere will serve as a springboard for screenings across the nation. Interested parties should visit the website to find out how they can bring the film to their area.<\/p>\n
