Prayer is important. Prayer is powerful. Prayer makes things possible. It is a wonderful thing to unite with Christian brothers and sisters, and pray for the many Christians facing persecution around the world. As part of the body of Christ, we are called to stand with and support all parts of the body. This means praying with them, and for them.
Your financial gifts make it possible for Open Doors to help thousands of persecuted Christians around the world. There are many ways to give, and each gift, no matter how small, makes a big difference in the lives of our Christian brothers and sisters. You can help to provide Bibles, donate toward a project, purchase gifts from our catalogue...
The aim of our trips is to strengthen, encourage, support and pray with the Persecuted Church, however your own life will be radically changed too. On an Open Doors trip, you might have opportunities to meet believers facing persecution, pray for the people of the nation, visit historial sights, deliver Christian materials, and much more. You will challenged emotionally and spiritually, but it is all worth it.
