Episodes Notes

While Canadians start 2021 getting used to new pandemic restrictions, Christians from India to Yemen are being refused food, medical care and other necessary
aid, experiencing increased surveillance, violence and discrimination, because of their faith. This year’s World Watch List (WWL), produced annually by Open Doors International, highlights how the global pandemic has exacerbated the systemic discrimination and persecution that over 340 million Christians experience on an ongoing basis.

Executive Director of Open Doors Canada, Gary Stagg, joins us today. He'll discuss the top findings of the 2021 World Watch List and how we as Canadians can help those suffering globally.
