A Christian Youth Ministry is facing state pressure. Stand with them!

Dear Defender of Religious Freedom,

First it was a Christian camp in Colorado.

State officials pressured Camp IdRaHaJe (named after the hymn “I’d Rather Have Jesus”) to violate its beliefs by allowing boys in girls’ private spaces (and vice versa).

Alliance Defending Freedom stepped in—and Colorado backed down.

Now another ministry is facing similar pressure.

Youth 71Five Ministries serves at-risk teens in Oregon.

But because the ministry hires staff who share its Christian faith, the state stripped away grant funding.

The case may now reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Will you stand with Youth 71Five?
