NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

If you’re like us, some situations seem too dark or too impossible to pray for. But we know that nothing is impossible with God!

Join us this International Day of Prayer as we pray boldly for our persecuted brothers and sisters who follow Jesus in some of the darkest places in the world.

I’ll Pray

Pray For Persecuted Christians

The Open Doors ministry began with the bold prayers of one Dutch man, Brother Andrew. He knew that without God, his mission to smuggle Bibles could not succeed.

Today, the persecuted church ask for prayer more than almost anything else.

In the most desperate of situations, where almost nothing is certain, they know that God is more powerful than the forces that seek to discourage or destroy them.

Our Quarterly

Prayer Guide

Each quarter we release a prayer guide to help you in praying for the persecuted church.

These prayer points have come from our partners on the field and the families and communities they serve.

“If we understood the potential power of our prayers, we would be on our knees a hundred times a day, asking Him for things that would turn the world upside-down.”

Brother Andrew, founder of Open Doors
