When will it stop? At Alliance Defending Freedom, we’re seeing governments try to sideline Christian children’s homes, adoption centers, and homeless ministries from their mission because they are committed to following their faith. To put it bluntly, these ministries are being attacked because they seek to live out the Gospel and refuse to compromise their faith and God-given mission.

In other cases, it could mean a ...
