An Open Letter to George Clooney

Last updated on: July 13, 2017 at 10:56 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Dear George: May I call you that? I feel close to you because I was mere inches away when the police hustled you off the steps of the Sudan Embassy and arrested you in 2012. At that point I was an 18 year veteran of Sudan/South Sudan advocacy. Then last week, you and I shared top billing (just kidding) in the local Washington, DC area news coverage of the Sudan sanction issue. We did it! All of us — members of Congress,... Read more

In Her Father’s Footsteps

Last updated on: May 17, 2017 at 10:53 am By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Last week I attended the Billy Graham Evangelical Association (BGEA) World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians. The summit was the first of its kind in America to my knowledge, and I have been doing advocacy for persecuted Christians for 23 years as Religious Liberty Director at the IRD. There have been many conferences about religious freedom and/or Christian persecution. Some conferences have brought in speakers from other countries, even a few survivors of persecution and imprisonment. But never have we... Read more

Czech Heroes and a Fight for Freedom

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 1:49 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Petr Jasek is free. The Czech missionary and humanitarian had been sentenced to life in prison in Sudan. He was charged with “spying against the state,” an eerie echo of the charge once used against Czechs and other Eastern Europeans behind the Iron Curtain. But an international outcry coupled with the determination of the government of Jasek’s own Czech Republic persuaded the Khartoum regime to “pardon” him. After spending 446 days in a Sudanese cell, the 52 year old European Christian was... Read more
