Become a Christian Persecution Fellow At ICC.
To apply, fill out the online interest form below and send a brief cover letter and resume to jobs@persecution.org.
At ICC, we strive to be a leading voice on Christian persecution.
Journalists, representatives on Capitol Hill, peer ministries, and staunch defenders of religious freedom look to us to find out what’s happening in the world. While our in-country staff provide briefs on persecution incidents, our ICC Fellows, relying on their scholarly credentials and background, go deeper into the geopolitical storms, the regional hostilities, Biblical and historical context that contribute to Christian persecution.
We regularly add to our Fellows pool – inviting college and university professors, think tank notables, ministers and missionaries, government officials, and more. The Fellows provide valuable perspectives in the public discourse on how, why, and where the church is being oppressed. What are the contributing factors of persecution? What are the trends? How can those in the West help and support the persecuted church? Much of this insight is curated in our comprehensive annual Global Persecution Index.
We invite you to use your God-given abilities and passions, coupled with your education, background, and experience, to join our Fellows pool and serve the persecuted church now and for eternity.
