The 38-year-old Prince is a former U.S. Navy officer who serves on the board of Christian Freedom International, whose mission is to help "Christians who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ."

What a low thing to do, demonizing a charity that has more raw guts than any other of which I'm aware. CFI goes into the most dangerous places in the world to save children. They bring food, shelter, medicine, and native language Bibles. They organize cottage industry to raise cash (the stuff is a very good deal). Unlike any other child-sponsorship program of which I'm aware, CFI won't have ANYTHING to do with the UN. They'll render aid without protection.

More Christians have been martyred in the past 100 years than in all prior 1900 years combined. And the persecution of Christians is growing. Today more Christians are oppressed for their faith than ever. In many nations--right now--Christians are harassed, tortured, imprisoned, and even martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ.

The following is our list of 50 countries where Christians face persecution. Christian Freedom International helps Christians in many of these nations:

Afghanistan | Algeria | Azerbaijan | Bangladesh | Belarus | Bhutan | Brunei | Burma | China | Columbia | Comoros | Cuba | Djibouti | Egypt | Eritrea | Ethiopia | Georgia | India | Indonesia | Iran | Iraq | Jordan | Kuwait | Laos | Libya | Malaysia | Maldives | Mauritania | Mexico | Morocco | Nepal | Nigeria | North Korea | Oman | Pakistan | Philippines | Qatar | Russia | Saudi Arabia | Somalia | Sri Lanka | Sudan | Syria | Tajikistan | Tunisia | Turkey | Turkmenistan | Uzbekistan | Vietnam | Yemen

These people are heroes.

I’m surprised not to find California and Massachusetts on that list.
