Gift 1: Strengthen believers in the top 10 countries of severe persecution

The persecution of believers living in the top 10 countries on the Open Doors World Watch List remains the most extreme and violent. Their means of earning a living and providing for and protecting their families are always at risk, and their choice to follow Jesus puts them in danger.

Your support means everything to believers like Zabi* from Afghanistan, who eventually had to flee for her safety. “Thank God for your food and clothes deliveries, your financial support and your prayers and encouragement. You’re a strand of hope to me,” she said.

Strengthen believers in the top 10 countries of severe persecution through your gift today with discipleship and persecution preparedness training as well as employment opportunities and emergency relief, all which act as an anchor of hope on which their faith can grow.

R360 could disciple four persecuted believers to grow in their faith.

R580 could provide two house churches in dangerous areas with training and employment opportunities.

R990 could help a church provide severely persecuted believers with emergency relief aid.
