(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- As aggression toward Christians continues to rise worldwide, several leaders are speaking out and challenging others to join them. Although many in the modern world are oblivious, ignoring the trauma or downplaying the abuse, a panel of Christian servants will gather on Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., to reveal the plights of the oppressed with an action call to eliminate future attacks.

The panel will consist of featured speakers Brad Brandon, Dr. Pamela Pyle, Virginia Prodan, and Kerry Hasenbalg, with special guests Troy A. Miller and Judd Saul, and will be moderated by Cheryl Chumley. The Washington Policy Institute, in partnership with the National Religious Broadcasters, Carrie Sheffield, The Washington Times, and Eden Gordon Media, LLC, is proud to host the "Persecuted & Prevailing" Discussion Panel to address the growing persecution threat to Christians all over the world and encourage measures to remedy these ongoing hazards. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the panel discussion begins at 7:00 p.m.

Brad Brandon is the founder and CEO of Across Nigeria. Since 2018, he has been actively serving in the foreign mission field, predominantly in the high-risk, highly persecuted areas of Northern Nigeria and other parts of West Africa. Through Pastor Brad and the Across Nigeria team, ground-breaking work is being done to bring the gospel into areas with the most intense opposition.

Virginia Prodan is an international human rights attorney and best-selling author of the memoir "Saving My Assassin." Maintaining the bravery she displayed as a young Christian attorney in Communist Romania, Virginia - in exile from her native land since 1988 - fights for justice and is honored in her divine call to defend fellow followers of Jesus against unjust persecution.

Judd Saul is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur, and missionary who embarked on a call to action in Nigeria in 2011.

Talking to local ministers and missionaries, Judd decided to start Equipping The Persecuted to respond and help persecuted Christians in need quickly.
