Believers in Africa are suffering in silence

Help start
the healing

Five years ago, Pastor Barnabas was attacked by Fulani extremists. He lost his home in northern Nigeria and members of his family. Nearly 34.5 million people have been displaced by violence in Sub-Saharan Africa. Many live in tent cities under horrific conditions. The world isn’t talking about it.

Today, you can see them. You can stand one with them.

The body of christ is hurting

Why Persecution Matters

1 in 7 Christians worldwide are persecuted for following Jesus.

That’s over 365 million Christians who are denied access to jobs and education, are arrested, attacked, and even killed for following Jesus.

We don’t work to end persecution. Instead, Open Doors exists to strengthen the persecuted church through it.

We are the body of Christ. When they hurt, we all hurt (1 Corinthians 12:26).
