Our Story
The Cord That Binds Us
The name Joshuacord comes from the biblical account of Joshua, Rahab, and the scarlet cord. Rahab displayed a scarlet cord in her window — an act of courage, faith, and kindness — and it saved her life. That cord connects us across centuries to a truth we hold today: no persecuted believer should be left without hope.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Joshuacord brings prayer, practical aid, and global awareness to the more than 388 million Christians who suffer for their faith.
