''Release International'' is an international organization for monitoring and reporting persecution of Christians around the world〔''"250 Million Christians Will Be Persecuted in 2007", Christian Post, January 2007.''〕 and helping the victims of that persecution. It is considered one of the "leading persecution watchdogs",〔''"Vietnam war rumbles on, Christians branded 'the enemy'", Christian Today, March 2008.''〕 which serves Christians in more than 30 countries. Among the main declared objectives of the association are: * Providing assistance for the needs of the families of martyrs and prisoners, * Enabling evangelical churches to survive persecution and its effects, * Helping the persecuted church win to Christ those who are opposed to the Gospel, * Supplying Bibles and literature to meet the need for growth and evangelism, * Being the voice of the martyrs and the oppressed. Release International supports and publishes a magazine called "Release". Before the 2008 Olympic Games, the organization urged the Chinese Government to guarantee the freedom of worship for all its citizens.〔''"Persecution Watchdog Urges Religious Freedom Ahead of China Olympics", Christian Today, September 2007.''〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Release International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
