Last Updated: March, 2026

1. INTRODUCTION

DefendChristianity.org (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and security. We operate in some of the most dangerous regions on earth, where disclosing the identities of our supporters, staff, or beneficiaries could result in imprisonment, persecution, or death.

To protect our staff, our beneficiaries, and our supporters, we operate under the radar.

We intentionally minimize our digital footprint to reduce the risk of:

  • Islamic extremist attacks on our staff and field teams
