ADF International’s Vision

Throughout the world, threats to fundamental freedoms are on the rise. From Canada to the U.K. to Nigeria to Pakistan, governments across the world are imposing and enforcing laws that violate human rights, including the very basic freedoms of expression and religion.

With six global offices, and active work in 70 countries, ADF International is on the leading edge of efforts to defend the rights of pastors, churches, ministries, businesses, families and everyday people to live and speak the truth—without fear of pressure of punishment.

With Your Help, & God’s Blessing, We’re Winning

ADF International isn’t interested in empty promises or hollow short-term gains. We’re playing the long game—and we’re here to win.

With the support of everyday people, the ADF International legal team has:

• Won over 1,500 cases and legal matters
• Freed 2,370 Christians from prison
• Reopened 1,152 churches and ministries

Those are real victories for real people. That’s the power of the Alliance.

Courage to Stand for Freedom

Your partnership with ADF International makes it possible to defend the fundamental rights of people like:

client

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce is a Christian charitable volunteer in the U.K. who was arrested twice for praying silently outside abortion facilities. ADF International’s lawyers stood by her the whole time—until she was acquitted, and the police were required to pay approximately $17,000 and admit they had unjustly arrested her.

client

Rhoda Jatau

Rhoda Jatau is a Nigerian mother of five who endured years of criminal proceedings, including a 19-month stay in prison, for charges of “blasphemy.” Her crime? Allegedly sharing a video on WhatsApp condemning the lynching of Deborah Emmanuel Yakubu, a Nigerian university student who was murdered and set on fire by a mob of her classmates in May 2022 for sharing her Christian faith.

client

Päivi Räsänen

Päivi Räsänen is a Finnish parliamentarian and grandmother of 12, Päivi has spent nearly six long years in and out of the courtroom defending her right to speak her faith. She has been targeted by prosecutors since she posted a Bible verse on her Twitter account, and was charged in 2019 under “hate speech” laws. Despite a unanimous acquittal, officials continue to pursue the case, which is now before the Finnish Supreme Court. With your support, we’ll continue to stand by Päivi for as long as it takes.
