Journey Of Faith Escaping Persecution

Evangelical Christians are still persecuted in Russia and the former Soviet states, according to testimony before Congress last year.

New Jersey Rep. Christopher Smith introduced two Russian speakers who testified of economic discrimination, as well as beatings and murders of evangelicals in several republics.
