Kevin talks with humanitarian Mark Arabo, who has been working tirelessly to garner US support for the Chaldean Christian community as they face the threat of ISIS. Arabo tells the sad tale of 150,000 displaced Christians (including 90,000 children), driven from their homes by violence. They have been forced to live in the desert without basic necessities, and last year over 12,500 people died in these conditions.
The Chaldeans are the oldest group of Christians, their heritage going all the way back to the patriarch Abraham (from Ur of the Chaldeans). They have long practiced Catholicism, refusing to give up their faith despite being surrounded by hostile Islamic groups. With the rise of ISIS they face a greater threat than ever before, and they are in desperate need of support from the global Christian community.
Arabo discusses what has already been accomplished to put an end to this ongoing genocide, and the great amount of work that still needs to be done. Visit his website, EndTheGenocide.com, to find out what you can do to help your brothers in Christ.
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” –James 4:17
