Parishioners at an historic church in Chile that suffered extensive damage from an arson attack have thanked ACN for helping them rebuild.


ACN supported repairs to the 143-year-old Church of the Assumption, Santiago de Chile, after it was set ablaze on 18th October 2020. As a result of the fire the roof caved in, the belltower collapsed and the altar was badly damaged.


The fire followed the looting and vandalising of the historic church during street protests the previous November, when protestors took artwork and used confessionals and pews to build barricades in the streets.

ACN APPEAL

PAKISTAN APPEAL

In 2023 and 2024, multiple churches and Christian homes were destroyed in mob violence in Pakistan. For instance, over 20 churches and dozens of homes were torched in the 2023 anti-Christian riots in Jaranwala, Punjab. Violence against Christians continues to be a huge problem throughout the country.


ACN's Church partners work to provide groceries, utilities and other essentials – as well as trauma counselling, security cameras and fencing at churches to help our brothers and sisters in Pakistan to live out their faith.


Please support our appeal and help us to raise awareness to make sure they can continue to practise their faith without fear of persecution and discrimination.
