A powerful photo exhibition depicting breathtaking images of inspiring Christians from all over the world takes place next week.

Portraits of Courage will shine a light on the stories of persecuted and suffering Christians from around the world.

It is hosted by Aid to the Church in Need Scotland (ACN) and takes place on Thursday 19 June from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, at ACN's Scottish office at Dalziel Building, 7 Scott Street, Motherwell.

William More, Operations Manager for ACN Scotland, said: "Portraits of Courage offers a window into the lives and communities we serve at Aid to the Church in Need.

"This exhibition is more than just a display of photographs — it’s an opportunity for us to come together as ACN Scotland with friends, supporters and benefactors, and to connect with the stories that inspire our work every day.

“We extend a warm invitation to all who wish to become more aware and engaged with the story of Christian persecution.”

Fresh from the success of their sold out Scottish Catholic conference in March, Portraits of Courage will provide a further opportunity to engage with the charity but this time in their offices.

There will also be a chance to purchase handmade items from the ACN trading department and light refreshments and nibbles will be provided.

Benefactors can obtain free tickets for the event by calling 01698 337 470 or by visiting the Office.
