The recently organized Dwekh Nawsha (DN) Christian militia, also known as “The Sacrificers” have launched a recruiting campaign on social networks.
Their goal is to draw Christians from all over the world to combat ISIL and protect the Christian minority in Syria from the further atrocities of “the barbarism of Islamic State.”
Military veterans from the US, Britain and France have already joined the ranks of the Christian Militia. Some of them, however, were already on Syrian soil fighting among Kurdish forces.
The organization is founded by donations and accepts contributions via PayPal. The official Facebook and Twitter pages regularly post messages of gratitude to their donors.
Bought two machine guns (BKC) with the donations of our people in California. GOD BLESS YOU!

The legal status of foreigners volunteering to join DN is uncertain, as laws on the matter vary from country to country. For example, French legislation prohibits citizens to be mercenaries, but it is not a crime to fight abroad or as a volunteer.
