Flash Alert

This alert is issued when a threat actor—such as a terrorist group, militia, or radical movement—makes a public or credible call to violence against Christians, missionaries, churches, or associated entities. These alerts aim to provide early warning, assess the potential impact, and offer actionable recommendations for those at risk. While not every threat leads to immediate violence, prior public calls have preceded attacks on Christian gatherings, aid workers, and places of worship.
