ICC Note:

Meriam Ibrahim, a mother of two who was sentencing to death for her Christian faith by an Islamic court in Sudan was acquitted and who is now living as a refugee in the United States will be visiting the nation’s capital later this month. Set to appear at the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit, Ibrahim will likely speak to encourage Christians in the U.S. to stand in defense of their faith, and to thank all those who worked for her freedom. ICC worked heavily both behind the scenes and in front of camera’s to see to Meriam’s release.

09/05/2014 United States (Christian News Service) – Meriam Ibrahim—the Sudanese woman married to a naturalized U.S. citizen who refused to renounce her Christian faith even while facing a death sentence for it—will be honored later this month in Washington, D.C., at the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit.

“Meriam’s bold stand for Jesus Christ as she faced death has touched the hearts of people in every nation,” said FRC President Tony Perkins. “Her incredible example of courage should inspire Christians in America to be bold and courageous in their faith as we witness growing religious hostility here in our country.”
