In this vacuum of leadership, the world witnessed its first challenge for global dominance as adherents of Islam once again fought to establish a world caliphate. However, as with similar attempts in centuries past, and after much innocent blood was spilled, the caliphate was defeated in a final Crusade, eventually casting another brutal chapter of the human experience into the dustbin of history. 

Future struggles saw many other groups fall from the political landscape. Those practicing any form of religion beyond a strict Humanism were deemed heretical and a danger to the State.  Many religions that had one time populated Earth were gone or had assimilated into one of various sects of Humanism. Those professing the Christian faith became outcasts. Under heavy persecution, they were forced to practice their faith in secret underground enclaves. Their persecutors were determined to finish the Christian genocide that had begun thousands of years earlier.

Humanity’s Edge (HEdge) is the reigning world government. Ten consortium members representing every sector of the globe make up the HEdge Council, the supreme authority of the land. Forty sector chiefs were tendered appointments to oversee the world’s finances, appointments only the HEdge Council could terminate.

Living under the shadows of this godless regime, Christians risk their lives daily as they struggle to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. And as the war rages, God’s people don’t falter but instead rise to the occasion in a mighty way.

So the struggle continues, the evils of the world seduce the souls of the many, while God’s remnant battle against all odds to bring salvation to a lost and dying world.
