As estimates suggest that over 340 million Christians live in areas where they face persecution for their faith, another march for the persecuted will be held this summer in Washington, D.C. 

“I saw a need for [persecuted Christians] to have a voice, and I believed that if God laid it on my heart, if He broke my heart, then as part of that was the responsibility to do something,” Chacón told The Christian Post in an interview. 

As estimates suggest that over 340 million Christians live in areas where they face persecution for their faith, another march for the persecuted will be held this summer in Washington, D.C. 

“I saw a need for [persecuted Christians] to have a voice, and I believed that if God laid it on my heart, if He broke my heart, then as part of that was the responsibility to do something,” Chacón told The Christian Post in an interview. 

Chacón traveled to Egypt with her grandmother’s nonprofit as a little girl and remembers being touched by seeing the bold faith of Egyptian Christians. When she traveled to Egypt again at the age of twenty, she decided to devote her life to serving the persecuted Church after witnessing the faith of those who would willingly die for Christ. 

“People my age and even younger were willing to lay down their lives for Christ and risk everything for the Gospel, and that impacted me so deeply,” she shared. “So actually, while in Egypt, I made the decision to give my life totally over to the service of Christ.” 

Through her travels to South America, the Middle East and beyond, Chacón has heard the stories of refugees and the atrocities they face for refusing to renounce faith in Jesus Christ.
