Global Christian Relief

GCR supports Christians around the world who are experiencing persecution. They provide medical care, food, skills and leadership training, Bibles, blankets, and clean water. I am happy to be a part of this organization that serves the brave men, women, and children who are boldly living for Jesus in the toughest places.

GCR informs me of the great work they do consistently. I receieve mailing updates and emails. I also love their prayer app! Highly recommend GCR.

An organization that has a big heart for persecuted Christians around the world. They make an impact in so many ways. From the stories they share on social media to the impact reports at the end of the year, it's very clear how much of a difference you can make by giving to Global Christian Relief. God bless them in 2025!

They do great work around the world! They advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves and do projects in really challenging contexts.

Thank God for Global Christian Relief and the ways they connect with the persecuted. Their website is very easy to use and I find the blogs and stories very touching. I look forward to seeing them grow and reach more people for Christ.

GCR leads the way when raising awareness and sharing the stories about the persecuted church. The experience they have and the love they show for suffering Christians around the world is inspiring. God bless them.

GCR has a huge heart for the persecuted church. They are a blessing to our brothers and sisters around the world that are suffering. Please pray for their mission and vision to continue to make an impact.

I enjoy donating to GCR because I know that my donations actually reach persecuted Christians who are suffering. I like that GCR takes on specific projects like helping families in the brick kilns in Pakistan...it feels very grassroots vs. some organizations where your donations feel more general.

GCR is a wonderful organization that supports persecuted Christians around the world. The stories they share are powerful and shed a light on those who are suffering. Their prayer app is great and is a good resource to pray for the persecuted.

Global Christian Relief is a trusted and reliable source when it comes to supporting persecuted Christians around the globe. They are passionate about the persecuted Church while also trying to awaken the U.S. Church when it comes to the stories and needs of our suffering family. Praise God for GCR.

I love the prayer app! I don't know of any other organization that has something like this. I get sent urgent prayer requests of Christians living in foreign countries who are persecuted for their faith. The stories on the prayer app usually include background on the believer, what their situation is, and then it ends with a prayer we can walk through together for the believer. I find the prayers very poignant. I also like the option that I can post a prayer of my own for these believers. What's really cool is that, after you post a prayer of your own, you can read through a wall of other people who have posted their own prayers for the individual/situation. It helps me feel connected to my global family, and that we're united in prayer for a universal cause.

I would recommend the prayer app to anyone looking to get updates on their persecuted family. The stories on the prayer app are all current and up-to-date, with many stories happening within the past week. What a connection to the global church!

This is an organization that lets you know how your gift is being used! I've been a monthly donor for almost two years now. Every month I get a statement with how my gift is being put to work to support my persecuted family. It lets me feel like I'm really making a difference!

My gifts have been used in a variety of ways, from sending Bibles to those without them, to trauma counseling for those who've experienced great persecution, to shelter after horrific earthquakes in Turkey. My gifts are making a difference and I'm grateful to be a part of this organization.

It's easy to give to an organization when you see your gift hard at work. We also sometimes receive videos or letters directly from those we're impacting. Very powerful to get a "thank you" from a country like India or Pakistan.

I'm grateful for this organization. They work tirelessly at making sure the voiceless have a voice. Over 360 million Christians face some form of extreme persecution each year. It's an issue the Church in the West is oblivious of. However, Global Christian Relief is hard at work educating the Church through prayer app posts, blogs, videos and more.

I love reading the blogs, as well as following the prayer prompts at the end. They help me stay connected to the individual the blog is about--my brother and sister in Christ. This organization does a great job of lopping me together with the global church, that we are all One Church and One Family in Him.

So little is known in the United States of the persecution that is happening around the world. It is heartbreaking to see these stories and videos that Global Christian Relief shares about the suffering of brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for sharing real stories and footage and giving us a chance to participate in prayer through the prayer app. It is so helpful to have a resource such as this to connect with others who are praying as well for the persecuted.

Love the videos and stories I get to hear from other Christians like me around the world. It reminds me that God is still on the move even in countries with fierce persecution. The Prayer App allows me to pray for immediate needs around the world. I like to see how others are praying and always feel like I’m part of a larger community when we join forces in prayer.

Global Christian Relief [GCR] is one of the best organizations to gather information, on the ground, from countries where Christian persecution is greatest. GCR uses powerful stories to connect the American church to our brothers and sisters around the world facing difficult trials for following Jesus. GCR shares these stories through social media and their prayer app which allows me to connect and pray for the larger church body. If you are looking for an organization to support persecuted Christians, I highly recommend Global Christian Relief.

I'm a long time supporter and fan of Global Christian Relief. Greatly appreciate the up to date news from all over the world. One of the only ways I can keep updated with international news about the persecuted Church.

Highly recommend their prayer app, Global Christian Relief Prayer App. Encourages me with challenging, yet hopeful stories. Love to see how thousands of others are praying together for the international churches.

Global Christian Relief keeps me informed with stories you rarely see in the mainstream press.
I feel deeply connected with my persecuted family through the stories on their website and on their Prayer App. The video stories are awesome.

I really enjoy their blogs! They help keep me connected to my persecuted brothers and sisters around the world. They shine a light on stories that you wouldn't otherwise hear. Some of them are heartbreaking. I'm grateful for an organization like this that continually fights on behalf of those with little to no voice.

In the same vein, I enjoy the stories on the prayer app--what a great way to get stories sent to me so I can pray earnestly on behalf of my brothers and sisters as quickly as possible. They even lead you through prayers and offer next steps you can take to get involved.

Global Christian Relief has a prayer app that I really like. It has really helped me increase my knowledge regarding the many factors that contribute to Christian persecution around the world. Before GCR, I'll admit that my knowledge of persecution was somewhat limited. I appreciate that GCR takes the time to travel to different countries to collect these stories first-hand. I enjoy knowing that my prayers are read by other U.S. Christians, and by the people suffering the most in other places where it's dangerous or illegal to follow Jesus. If you have an interest in learning about Christian persecution or about religious freedom in general, I would encourage you to look into Global Christian Relief.

I've been donating funds to Open Doors with Brother Andrew since, at least, the 1980's. I like the fact that they have expanded from the distribution of the Word of God, the primary focus when I first heard of them, to now meeting other needs as well; but still focusing on the Word and prayer. Using their monthly Prayer Force ALERT and the World Watch List prayer guide helps me to pray daily for my persecuted church family. I'm thankful that God allows me to be a part of this ministry.

I consider Open Doors USA one of the best organizations to keep me informed about the persecuted church. The World Watch List keeps me up to date on which countries are most antagonistic to the gospel and how to pray for believers. I believe my donations are used in a way that helps further God's kingdom here on earth and help my brothers and sisters in crisis.

When I learn about open doors and what brother Andrew where doing I just can’t stay out,as my congregation,I remember it was trough a prayer event for the church in countrys where is persecuted and our pastor was telling us everything the open doors was doing to help our brothers and sisters in those communities,form bringing bibles to supporting with theirs basic needs and that’s why I encourage you brother or sister reading this, do not stay still you and me together can make a difference to our less fortunate family in Christ just like Paul write to the Filipinas 4:10 and for you reading right now,this is the opportunity to be part of something really big,God bless you all

I have been an Open Doors follower/donor since 2000, when I attended a lecture on the persecuted church in Brazil. I am also a great admirer of brother Andre, who unfortunately died recently. I always wanted to meet him in person, but it was not possible, despite having personally attended one of his lectures when I was still living in Brazil. His courage and determination inspire me to continue serving the Lord despite the struggles. What a wonderful work God began through the faithful obedience of a simple man like us. The work that Open Doors does is simply fantastic! Giving spiritual and financial support, being a friendly shoulder in times of pain, Bible training, sending out Bibles and Christian material, and much more, helping brothers in Christ who pay a high price to follow Jesus Christ to remain steadfast followers of Christ. For this and much more, Open Doors deserves our respect, admiration, prayers and financial support.

Blessings!

Open Doors is an amazing nonprofit who are totally focused on helping our persecuted brothers and sisters in countries all over the world. They make it possible for you to be aware of what is going on in other countries where religious freedom is at risk. Their app allows you to be part of an international prayer chain that lifts up our brothers and sisters across the globe. without them we would not know as much as we do about how our brothers and sisters in other countries are fairing. I am honored to be able to give to this non profit.

I admire OpenDoors' care for my persecuted brothers and sisters.

I started to get mail from them around fall 2018-spring 2019 during my senior year of college. I joined them because of what they do strengthening the body of Christ in hostile areas of the world. Now I get lots of updates to pray for and what Open Doors is doing. Money and time well spent!

I've been so blessed to be a partner of Open Doors with Brother Andrew. Beyond their loving and easy to reach staff who have supplied me with prayer & persecution preparedness materials, I continued to support this ministry because they take a firm stand on TRUE salvation and do not fund the lies & deceit of the Catholic church.

For more information about who they support with your funds, you can reach out to their offices and truly loving staff. Unlike VOM which sadly does funnel money to the great ___ of Rome, I felt led to support this ministry because we know our King makes no compromise in holiness. As always seek the Lord in prayer and place HIS riches only where He directs.

The APP is a great way to continue in prayer and receive live updates on brethren who are overcoming daily and fighting the great and worthy fight of faith. What an inspiration and a great way to FEEL like a part of the worldwide church. Thank you Open Doors. Let us remain faithful unto the end and receive our reward!

We felt God calling us to give monthly from our tithe to Open Doors after my heart was stirred by a call during a fundraiser. So appreciate their communication and transparency about all the ways Open Doors helps the persecuted church, stewards donations, and spread awareness. Thanks for all you do!

I first read Brother Andrew's book, God's Smuggler in the 1980s. I was astonished to find out the scope and the level of persecution of Christian Believers that was happening around the world. My wife and I were both moved to pray for our persecuted Brothers and Sisters in Christ, but also to give financially to Brother Andrew's Open Doors ministry monthly, which we continue to do now here in 2022. It is extremely encouraging to read the accounts, reports, and testimonies from Believers of how Open Doors and partners are providing assistance and encouragement to persecuted Christians around the World. Open Doors is about how we can PRAY for the persecuted Church, but it is also about how we can help (give) for specific needs, and in many cases, see and hear how God is working through our prayers and gifts. God's Word says that all who live godly lives will suffer persecution, 2 Timothy 3:12.
We, who currently live in freedom to practice our faith should pray ������������ and give as generously as we are able, while we still have our liberties...keeping in mind that some day we may not have them.

Open Doors has opened my eyes to the plight of my brothers and sisters in Christ in the world today. Because of Open Doors I regularly pray for those who are persecuted for their faith in our Savior Jesus and for those who work to serve them. This organization is the hands and feet of Jesus and supporting it is of eternal worth.

I just want to thank God for open doors. I’m so glad that my brothers and sisters in Christ that are being persecuted for their faith in him are being ministered to. It’s hard to believe what they are going through just because they believe and want others to also know Christ. Thank you open doors for being there for them and helping them get through all that they must endure for their faith in Jesus. It breaks my heart but to know your there helping them gives me hope and joy. Forever grateful ❤️‍������������������������

It is my true privilege to participate with the Open Doors ministry, serving the Persecuted Church. My modest monthly contribution, combined with that lots of other’s, empowers Open Doors to come to the financial, material, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aid of those in desperate need, even in the remotest parts of our world. Open Doors’ daily reports of the persecutions and enduring faith of besieged fellow Christians, serve to cause me to be consistent and pointed in praying for their protection and triumph.

My Aunt was a prayer warrior and quiet supporter of missionaries. After she died in 2011, the Lord laid upon my heart to continue her work of praying. That's when I was introduced to Open Doors. I asked for the monthly prayer calendar to be sent and the Lord enlarged my world. I then began to learn about each country, the people, their persecution perils. So I prayed more intelligently. The Lord gave me a love for the persecuted believers. As I go through my day, even while exercising, Scripture verses come to mind and prompt me to pray the words for the focus of each day. The materials and letters and emails I receive keep me informed--even reading the news online updates what is happening in the world where living for Christ costs so much. I am thankful to Open Doors and consider it "all joy" to pray for the persecuted church. I'm not in it for the glory but in obedience to what the Lord has asked me to do. To God be the glory--great is His faithfulness to all generations.

I was born to missionary parents in Peru and after my father was killed by a drunk driver my mother raised the 6 of us while working as a mission representative. She read missionary biographies to us in addition to our family Bible reading, memorization and prayer time. I remember my younger brother and I pretending in our back yard that we were smuggling Bible with Brother Andrew. I have tried to share these heroes of the faith with my children and grandchildren. It was a while after my husband died that the youngest of my six children started helping me with the rent, and now while I can with what he gives toward the rent I am able to start giving money to spread the Word of God beyond my community. Now I REALLY am helping Brother Andrew smuggle Bibles!

Learning about Open Doors and Partnering with them has been a huge impact on my faith and growth in the Lord. While I realize the motivation to give should be out of love and care for others, joining in the suffering of our brothers and sisters throughout the world through prayers and tears and financial help has strengthened my faith and helped me to grow bit by bit to be less materialistic, self centered and greedy and to think daily about the needs of our brothers and sisters around the world. In this I can now teach my children. Instead of buying yet another new toy or decoration for the house, we are learning to truly find our joy in Christ and better use our resources for the Kingdom of Heaven, so by God's power and grace alone, we are growing in grace and love and striving to live out our prayer, "Thy Kingdom Come." At mealtimes now we pray for those suffering and hungry. The prayer app was huge for me. I am thankful for God's grace through Open Doors to serve those throughout the world who are suffering for Christ and for giving us the opportunity to be part of Christ's "hands and feet."

Open Doors helps me to support my brothers and sisters around the world. In addition to giving, there are opportunities to write letters and support the church in others ways. I'm able to engage more in daily prayer through the monthly prayer force alert and the Open Doors app.

Earlier this year a friend from England wrote to me about Open Doors and their work with Christian believers in many countries whose faith and beliefs are condemned. A number of years ago we became friends with a priest who was studying in Rome and later returned to Iran and was shot and killed in his car after leading a worship service. He is now remembered in the church of San Bartolomeo in Rome which is a shrine to 20th-century martyrs. His memory and sacrifice in the service of God and His people is very moving for us. We were unaware in how many countries Christians experience religious intolerance and are severely punished for practicing their beliefs. We are thankful that Open Doors is involved in this extremely challenging work through local churches to assist people In a variety of ways and are glad to help through our support.

This is a wonderful nonprofit to help to persecuted Christian Church. My heart is encouraged when I give to Open Doors With Brother Andrew who has stated the our prayers go where our bodies can't. My money goes where I can't go and I thank my God for this group.

I was always concerned about persecuted Christians and would pray for them on a daily basis. The moment arrived when praying alone didn't seem to be enough unless I did more. That's why I finally started supporting Open Doors. Great job for the Lord, for Christ's Church, and for our persecuted brothers and sisters. Now I feel like I'm acting more like a true brother in Christ to them.

I first encountered Open Doors when I read Hearts of Fire. It set my heart on fire to pray for Christians suffering in nations that despise Christianity. Yet these martyrs remain strong in their faith in Jesus Christ. Would my faith be as strong and true? Their stories enriched and strengthened my faith. I now pray daily for their safety and protection and I tell others about their stories. We are blessed in America but the darkness is coming. All Christians must join together to speak truth and spread the light and good news of Jesus Christ. Your ministry needs all of us to support you for you go where we cannot. God is with you and blesses this wonderful ministry.

I have been familiar with Open Doors ministry for a long time. The faithfulness in this work is evident in the growth of the reach of the ministry.
Last year I had the privilege to read Brother Andrew’s life story and I have to say was very inspired to realize how we can all have a reach that can further the gospel.
Whether it is reaching my neighbors next door or joining with Open Doors and investing in this ministry, we all have a part to play in the Lord’s grand design to save the nations.
I am glad to have a part in giving monthly to this work.
Until all have heard!

I have had the pleasure of giving to Open Doors for two years now and God has truly blessed me in ways I did not expect. I enjoy following the prayer schedule and focusing on the Middle Eastern section because I now work in the Middle East. And since I now live and work in this part of the world, I have developed a passion for learning and praying for here and of course, Israel is also part of the grand plan. I was busy creating a PowerPoint inspired by Open Doors prayer schedule and I started dedicating time once a month for this region. A few months ago I hooked up with a few other believers in another Middle Eastern country and I share the monthly prayers. I am always encouraged to hear testimonies from others and I pray for those in great need too, using the app. Thanks, Open Doors, may God continue to richly bless this ministry!

We are so blessed to be able to have the good news of the gospel preached freely. Those who hear can freely accept and worship our Savior. This lack of freedom in other countries compelled me to donate to Open Doors and pray daily for my persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. We must all do our part to advance the Kingdom of God.

Its a blessing to be able to help your brothers and sisters in CHRIST ! My prayer is that many of you will be able to donate to this organization for those who are unable to help themselves! God bless you for caring!!

I am always blessed when I read about my brothers and sisters in Christ who are strengthened by the Lord and growing stronger in the midst of intense persecution. I pray for our worldwide church family using the Open Doors app and am a frontline partner, giving monthly to support Open Doors work of providing trauma care, emergency relief, and entrepreneurship training as well as equipping followers of Jesus with copies of God's word and training in applying it to the situations they face.

Open Doors daily shares story's of the oppressed/persecuted church. It keeps me in prayer better than I can do myself, as I "get busy" with life, and forget and neglect my prayer life. Donating helps with the many needs of people around the world.

I have the Open Door app and as I prayed, there was just no way I could not be a monthly donor. My heart breaks every time I pray for the persecuted. I pray I will be able to be as courageous and faithful to Jesus as these believers.

I read Brother Andrews' "God's Smuggler" in 1968 when I was 28 and Eastern Europe lay under Communism. At that time I stood before the Berlin wall and thought that whenever it fell would not be in my lifetime. I was awestruck in 1989. It was God's hand. Now, Open Doors ministers to Christians in countries under the yoke of Islam. For us as Americans, 9/11 was, or should have been, a real wake-up call. I'm happy to help Open Doors by praying, reading the monthly newsletter and prayer calendar, and donating what I can.

I believe I was called by God not only to donate but support the persecuted Church in their time of need, so I looked for an organisation that would meet the biblical criteria and I found Open Doors. It reminded me of the words of our Saviour when He said, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited Me in, naked and you clothed Me etc this is what I see Open Doors doing and I want to be part of such an organisation. I am also a Connector in that I take the prayers I receive daily and share them with my church so that our brethren in the persecuted Church know that we stand alongside them. I am blessed because of being a part of Open Doors especially as I am constantly seeing God answer prayers. The way God has used Open Doors is nothing short of phenomenal.

Hello, I am a strong believer in christ and I've been giving to you guys organization for about 3 months now by the grace of God. Amen

Yeah, I was looking for ways to help "the least of these" as referenced by Jesus in the Bible. I have the understanding that this is supposed to be the traveling missionaries who didn't have anything. I also understand that some people see that as helping any Christian brother or sister in need. I figured supporting a charity which is in the mission field in areas of the world where Christians are greatly persecuted would be a good way to help both Missionaries and those Christian brothers and sisters in need of helping, thinking back to "the least of these".

Hello, I read every book that brother Andrew wrote and was so moved by his testimony and his work to help brothers and sisters in other countries! It changed me and made me aware of the need to help our struggling family in Christ!! When I heard of Open Doors I couldn't wait to help them! I feel for me it's my duty and my joy to give! Thank you brother Andrew and Open Doors for all your hard work and love for the persecuted! I also love the monthly prayer pamphlet so that I can pray and the urgent prayer requests made available for us to lift these precious people up to God!!!

I heard how Open Doors was helping badly persecuted Christians in hard pressed lands with life saving practical and spiritual help, and I began donating. I trust this non-profit, they do great work, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity and enjoy receiving their updates and prayer requests.

Peace. The gift I have been given by supporting Open Doors. Seeing the stories of suffering people that are being helped by Open Doors hurt my heart..I would pray for them and look away. I couldn't continue to look away and knew that isn't the way of Jesus. I had no peace. When I became a monthly donor I found peace. Prayer and giving is the way of a Christian. God Bless Open Doors and thank you for helping me find peace throughsupporting Open Doors.

After reading Brother Andrew's book and looking into open doors, I have determined to make it one of the charities I support. They help persecuted Christians all over the world. As a Christian, I think we are responsible for how we use our money. Paul says those who are well off should use their money to help others in 1 Timothy 17:18, which states "17Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others"(NLT) which is what Open Doors does for our persecuted brothers and sisters. I would highly recommend giving to this organization.

Passing on the word of Christ is important, because in this world their are demonic rulers that hate Jesus Christ, one is president Joe Biden, he is the biggest Antichrist in America at this time, but the word of Christ lets us know that we are safe & Satan & his children will be crushed.

Open Doors is effective and meets goals without using most the donations for administration.

I've been a supporter of Open Doors for the last 2 years. Christians are persecuted and suffering in many parts of the world, and they need our help. Open Doors teams go to those countries and provide the help that the Christians need. They are doing a great job and it is a great joy that we can participate with them.

Open Doors is beautiful. I've heard about martyrdom before, but I wasn't aware that Christians were persecuted so constantly in such a large global scale. Growing up in New York City, I had generally viewed Christians as a somewhat "privileged" majority and assumed that this was the case in most countries. However, Open Doors taught me about the exhausting persecution that Christians around the world experience D.A.I.L.Y.
And this organization doesn't just broadcast their stories, but they also commit themselves to serving at the front lines: Christians rely on them for food, water, shelters (including safe houses), psychological healing, and spiritual uplifting. This organization is literally these victims' "Daily Bread."
I know what you might be thinking: "Sounds like a great idea, but I'm broke." Well, God has equipped this team with more than just one way to serve. I myself have been occasionally donating $5 at a time (And it means so much to them!). In addition to that, I've also been able to write letters to persecuted Christians, become a social media ambassador, pray for particular communities using the Prayer Force alerts, and contribute to the Open Doors prayer wall. And guess what: You can too! (Bonus: order your FREE copy of the thrilling book "God's Smuggler," which tells you all you need to know about Brother Andrew, the founder).

Now someone might ask me “Marc, why are you supporting the Open Doors ministry?” Here is why: firstly, this ministry has a long history (more than 6 decades!) of faithfully and sacrificially serving and being committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church by offering practical and on-the-ground assistance and aid to persecuted Christians, at great risks. Typically, persecuted Christians are considerably made up of orphans and widows, as husbands and fathers get killed by radical groups such as Boko Haram, Muslim Fulani Herdsmen, ISIS, and so on. Therefore, by prayerfully and financially partnering with this ministry, I get to practice “pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father” which is “to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world” – James 1:27.
Secondly, the Lord Jesus Christ offers many promises with eternal rewards related to caring for His children, especially the least of them and the most vulnerable, as recorded in the following Bible passages: Matthew 10:42, Proverbs 19:17, Ecclesiastes 11:1, Matthew 25:40, Mark 9:41, and Hebrews 6:10.
Thirdly, members of the Body of Christ must love each other, care for one another, and serve one another just as Christ, the Head of this Body, exemplified. “This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad” – 1 Corinthians 12:25-26.
Fourthly and lastly, it is good investing in Open Doors because this organization gets the job done! What I mean by that is it takes the words of the Lord Jesus Christ seriously, and, therefore, it is bearing eternally good fruit by the grace and mercy of and for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ!

I first became aware of Open Doors in the fall of 1976. I was in college and had recently renewed my life for Christ and was looking for ministries to get involved with. Open Doors with Brother Andrew, a ministry that takes the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ into areas of the world that are generally closed to the gospel appealed to me as a way to get the gospel to ends of the earth.

I've been a supporter of Open Doors for many years. Christians are so persecuted in many parts of the world, and they need our help. Open Doors teams go to those countries and provide the help that the Christians need.

I read the book of the founder of open door
It changes me and moved me
I learned more about faith trusting God through his story
This is a person that genuinely gave up his live to serve the Lord no string attached
This non profit lives for the persecuted Christians
They are not doing it for money
They are doing it for the kingdom of God
1 John 3:17
But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

I’m happy they are doing this
If they don’t do it for the persecuted believers who else will do it
The Lord moved me to always donate to them.
I like the app it always update people about what is going on
May the Lord continue to use and bless them IJN

My husband and I have supported Open Doors for a number of decades, since a friend handed me a brochure about the ministry. I was deeply moved by reading Brother Andrews’s book, “God’s Smuggler”. We find the growth of the ministry outreach to be deeply impressive, and the use of funds being open and flawless. May God reach thousands more searching souls through Open Doors!

I got to know about open doors USA through our church. I find it challenging to see my fellow brothers and sisters going through persecution and some of us are relaxed in our comfort zones. We got challenged to give and pray for them. My family sends a portion of our tithe to the ministry, and make donations when needs arise. We also use the monthly prayer bulletins daily, sometimes with fastings. And it excites us to hear feedbacks of God's intervention in those places. We hope to be more involved in open doors as opportunities arises, both in administrative duties and volunteer field work.
God bless brother Andrew for yielding to the Lord.
May God's work continue to prosper.
God bless open doors USA.
God bless all saints all over the world.
Shalom.

When I first started following Open Doors, I was amazed at the persecution our brothers and sisters in Christ in other countries were experiencing. It was eye-opening and heart wrenching. I wanted to do something so I started donating whatever the Lord put on my heart to give. I love Open Doors and the work they do for their fellow family in Christ. I’m proud to say I am a partner!

Many years ago I read God's Smuggler! Recently I re-read an updated version of the book and then passed it on to a dear friend. Once I finished reading the book, I promised myself that I would give to persecuted brothers and sisters around the world for the rest of my life. Recently for my birthday, I got to back this commitment up, as I raised 170.00 from other friends who became of aware of what Open Doors does to help the body of Christ around the world. I was humbled by the stories in Open Door's top 50 countries that persecute Christians, as I thought how easy I had, had things in my life in America. I urge you to give to Open Doors as Jesus will one day look at you and say, "As surely as you have done this to the least of these (in the world's eyes)...you have done it unto me!" Please give to Open Doors! Please as you are helping the the Body of Christ around the world when you do.

Open Doors makes helping my persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ personal. In the past I sympathized with the persecuted church, but now I actively do something about it by giving monthly.

I also receive the monthly Open Doors prayer bulletins and I have the prayer app on my phone. The prayer requests come directly from persecuted believers, or from those in the field serving them directly. I read their stories, and I am reminded just how important it is to help and stand with believers who are facing some of the hardest times in their lives. I am grateful God led me to help support Open Doors.

O Hallelujah! Glory to God in the Highest! Hey family! God has been blessing me and allowing me to give to Open doors for awhile now. I love their ministry and I love giving to Open doors. I feel so much peace and joy and it makes me think of Revelation 3:8 when I give to Open Doors ministry. I want to encourage you all to give to Open doors today and believe God to open doors in your life that no man can shut! Also remember Proverbs 10:2 when giving. Love you all but Our Lord God King Jesus loves you all more! God bless you all!

Living in America it was hard to grasp the reality of persecution. The more I followed Christ the more I realized my family all over the world was suffering and I had a responsibility to respond. Open Doors provided a face to the stories, they connected the dots on what persecution is and looks like, how real it is. I did not become a donor right away but the scripture "to whom much is given much is required" opened my eyes. Through the Holy Spirit I realized that in American we have been given much abundance and blessed in many ways. Those blessings comes with responsibility and that is to use our resources to be a blessing to others, my desire was first to the persecuted Church, my family. By God's provision I have become a monthly donor, a continued prayer partner and a advocate, to God be the Glory for it all!

I researched many non-profits to decide where a portion of my 10% tithe from my disability back-pay should go. I really felt Open Doors USA was truly doing GODS" work in supplying resources to, "The Least Of These", as JESUS implored us to do in the Holy Bible. When I hit the lottery, I look forward to tithing a huge amount to Open Doors USA. I've already added them to my Master Donor List! Joseph in NC.

I can't remember how I came across Open Doors. But since I became a monthly donor partner, my mind found peace and rest knowing that the little I contribute gives hope to persecuted brothers or sisters somewhere and also gives food shelter and clothing to the needy. I also thank God for the prayers from the brethrens in Open Doors and also from the needy. I have never lacked. God has been providing for me and my family. - Uche Seedorf Okorie

I was living a life of great sin and great sadness. I was on every psychotropic, anti-depressive, sleeping bill and benzodiazepene known to man. I smoked 30 cigarettes a day and weighed 100 lbs.
I had the knowledge of God but not the power thereof.
God, in his infinite love and wisdom decided to ruin my right lower leg.
It was post-op of one of my many surgeries that I found Open Doors. I read the story of Brother Andrew and the many who took their lives into their hands to give Bibles to those in tyrannical countries.
As I started to give and to pray for those many people in countries far away, God was changing me, too.
The idea that I could actually help these people made me feel real purpose for the first time in a long time.
Because I had to pray for these beloved ones meant I had to pray, and the more I prayed, the more I prayed. The more I prayed I realized that God did still love me, it brought me close to His Great Heart and HIs Great Love.
This ministry, these Open Doors, healed me, too.
God used Open Doors to give me purpose, to know I was serving God and to know that He still loved me.
Now, I can say with David,
"Let the bones which Thou hast broken, rejoice!"!
(I'm sure this won't be chosen as I haven't done much, but it is really just a Thank You to Open Doors, that Christ uses your ministry even in the lives of the givers)

My heart goes out to persecuted Christians. I think that most people in the US have their heads in the sand and have no idea how these Christians are putting their lives in danger just for saying they love Christ. I pray for Christians in the 10/40 window every day and give a small donation monthly. I pray for Christians in the US to have a faith as strong as these persecuted Christians.

all I can say is God brought me here, many signs were giving before donating. It has to be right. I want to please God! Do what Jehovah God says!

Open Doors came to my attention after reading Corrie Ten Boom’s story and that of her assistant (Pam Rosewell Moore) who wrote the Five Silent Years of Corrie TenBoom, I was introduced to Brother Andrew. God’s Smuggler was my first read and that followed by every other book I could find. Brother Andrew’s walk to God and the plan for his life to have Open Doors and an attitude of love and compassion for all of creation in practical applications is a wonderful testament to God. Open Doors is one of the best back stories and current stories of God in action.

This amazing ministry places people in dangerous countries where Christianity is threatened and helps those who have been physically and emotionally and spiritually wounded by persecution. They provide Bibles, food, discipleship, literacy training, encouragement, and emotional healing for those who have been sexually attacked. I pray through their prayer calendars every month since I first had my eyes opened to the suffering of fellow believers around the world. They ask for and need our prayers. Christianity offers hope and Open Doors are the boots on the ground to come alongside those who need help the most, often at the risk of imprisonment or worse themselves.

I have supported Open Doors for some years now, because they keep me informed about Christians around the world who suffer for their religious beliefs. They use the money donated in the most practical ways such as giving aid that is desperately needed, but also by helping people to learn to make a living where they are as well as for education, teaching, and counseling.
As a Christian living in the United States, I often feel helpless to assist those living in such difficult, painful situations. Open Doors allows me to be able to connect with them through specific prayer requests and letters as well as monetary donations. They keep me updated as to their progress and needs, which I greatly appreciate. This is a most amazing and worthwhile organization.

Open Doors has kept our family current on events affecting my Christian Brethren all over the world. Their materials are informative, well written, and thorough. They do not unduly pressure us to donate....we donate because of our love for Christ and our persecuted fellow Christians.

They are doing a noble work. I am confident the support is used the right way to help suffering people.

It's good to have ministry that is willing to reach out to our persecuted Christians abroad. Sometimes we are too insulated and "cutoff " from national news to hear anything about suffering; facing life threatening Christians.

Open Doors is a fantastic way to feel connected to and support the persecuted church, our brothers and sisters in the faith. Open Doors stays connected with contributors through magazines, mailer updates, email updates and opportunities to meet or hear from those who have received support through Open Doors. If you give a cup of cold water to them, you have done so to Jesus. Open Doors is the opportunity to give that cup of cold water (relief, support, comfort, common necessities, bibles, and hope.

I am so grateful for the ministry of Open Doors and there wholehearted commitment to the gospel. Brother Andrew had a huge impact on my life as a young person and I am excited to be a part of his ministry. The stories I receive of our persecuted brothers and sisters encourage me as I see God at work in the darkest and seemingly hopeless places of the world.

I first became acquainted with Open Doors through a mail solicitation years and years ago, before the internet was so abundant. I called their Santa Ana California office and talked to a lovely woman who told me all about what they did. Their ministry work impressed me so much that I began donating to them immediately and have continued since then. But it was only after I read brother Andrew's story in "God's Smuggler" that I truly began to understand what this ministry was all about. I love what they do, how they reach people in the most desperate situations, how they provide counseling for those who have been through trauma based on their faith, how they train people up to be pastors in their local area, how they provide basic needs, blankets, housing, and so much more. I just cannot say enough good about Open Doors. They truly are fulfilling the great commission. My husband and I have even made provisions for them after we pass away.

I have been so impressed with the integrity of Open Doors ministry. The quarterly magazines are informative, touching and professional. The webinars that include interviews with those in the persecuted church really bring the reality of their lives and plight home. I have full confidence our monthly donations are spent with much prayer and diligence. I thank God for the ministry of Open Doors.

We have suporter Open Doors for years. THey are faithful to God and to the persecuted church to support them in any way they possibly can. They supply us with a monthly prayer list that gives specific situations and persecuted Christians to pray for. They have been faithful to use the donations they have received to reach out to fellow believers who are suffering. Though I am not with the persecuted church in person I am so happy that I can support them through this upstanding organization.

Authentic, shares insights about the world that is outside of my ability to view, outreach focused, reminds me to pray for Christian family around the world!

This charity provides detailed updates about how they are benefiting Christians around the world. They also provide monthly prayer calendars which are an effective way of engaging many to pray for Christians around the world as well as increase awareness. I have no doubt that my time and donations are used well by God working through Open Doors.

My story is not very long since I signed on as a volunteer about three months ago. I was looking for information about Christian Martyrs and found the OPEN DOORS site. The more I read the more I wanted to read. I found stories of real people not just statistics. I also found a resource for sharing this information with others. I signed up for a webinar and learned other ways of spreading the news of Christian Martyrs. I made a comment during the session and received a reply once the webinar was over. The reply included an offer to send me free materials to help with my efforts to spread the news. The materials offered were available for sale on the store section of their web page but they were offered free. OPEN DOORS mission is the primary reason they exist yes, they ask for donations and they have a store but this all is secondary to their mission. Last but, not least, through OPEN DOORS I can share faces of real people which makes the stories come alive!

Open Doors to me represents the crucial work of The Church by providing a means of pooling our talents and resources to encourage and strengthen the body of Christ that goes beyond any one denomination, national border or culture.

I love the information and stories they provide to help Christians pray. Their podcasts are inspiring. so much good work going on supporting those who feel alone in their mission of sharing God's love in an evil world.

For many years my heart has been for helping persecuted brethren who are largely forgotten by the Western Church. Open Doors helps me help those whom I want to help. I could wish for a lot of money so that I could give much more. I am an 80-year-old with a disability. I give what I can and know that my small gift will be well used by Open Doors. There are many Christians who have a lot of money and there are many Christians who have virtually nothing. Christianity is sharing what we have with one another and Open Doors is a facilitator for this and its work brings joy to many whose hearts have been crushed by persecution.

Open Doors do an incredible and unbelievable work with persecuted christians, only for Open Doors, millions of persecuted christians would be forgotten about and wouldn't be able to keep going. Open Doors need and deserve as much funding as is possible to help christians who have been beaten and families even cope after their loved ones have been killed.

Dimitri Duduman worked with open doors. That's good enough for me. Good work.

I have heard of and supported Open Doors for some 25 years now. I believe they are a great organization working with and coming alongside the Persecuted Church. The work they do in providing aid, education, discipling and encouragement to our suffering brothers and sisters compels me to get involved in God’s work too even if it is in small ways such giving and praying. It helps me feel part of something much bigger.
I especially find the monthly prayer guide useful and use it as a daily reminder to pray for the persecuted, the suggested prayers are short but to the point. I also like that Open Doors produces the World Watch List, this is something that our world leaders should pay attention to so they would know that Christians are a persecuted people group too.
I commend Open Doors as a worthy charity to support, both financially and prayerfully, I trust them completely to use my donations wisely and ensure they go where they are needed most.
Thanks, Ian T

I read "God's Smuggler" as a child, the story of the founder of Open Doors. Then, a few years ago, I was moved to donate and volunteer because of Open Doors' work helping persecuted Christians around the world. And, I love the fact that, although Open Doors started smuggling Bibles into countries where Christianity is persecuted, Open Doors now also provides food and shelter to Christians displaced by persecution, provides counselling for the victims of persecution, provides training, education, and, of course, Bibles still to our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.

I believe in Open Doors because it was founded by Brother Andrew, & it does what I believe to be the most important work for Christ... helping & rescuing persecuted Christians, & spreading the gospel to countries where there is oppression & people would never otherwise hear the Word. I really thank Open Doors for all they do, & I wish I could donate more!

I first heard of Open Doors USA when I saw a list of the top ten countries when Christians are persecuted, and felt that I should dig deeper into what they do. This was several years ago. At the time, I was very convicted and moved with the support that Open Doors USA gives to persecuted Christians around the world, but felt unable to contribute, as I had no income at the time, being a child. I promised that, once I started earning money, I would contribute financially to Open Doors USA. That day has since happened, and the last several years have been quite exciting, knowing that I am playing a part, however small, in helping persecuted Christians know that they are not alone. I have also seen how God has been faithful both to persecuted Christians, and to those who help them.

Wanted to provide support to Christians around the world. Called to hurt with those who hurt and to stand with those who suffer for the name of Jesus--that is what Open Doors allows me to do. Thanks Open Doors.

I read Bro Andrews book many, many years ago. It touched my heart. but I had no idea that persecution existed so rampant until I read Open Doors on Facebook. Now my heart aches for my Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ whose only crime is they show LOVE and tell others about HIM. I pray for them and I give. How can I not. May GOD bless you all.

My experience with Open Doors has been very positive. The work they are doing is hard and often dangerous, and they do it with grace, love and perseverance. They help Christians around the world connect with each other, and in so doing, connect our one body with Christ. On the surface, this issue might seem narrower than it actually is. Firstly, there are over 2.3 billion Christians in the world; therefore, the sheer number of people potentially affected is high. Secondly, as Bishop Barron said, “There were more Christian martyrs in the twentieth century than in all of the previous nineteen centuries combined. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and many of their lesser-known totalitarian colleagues put millions of Christians to death for their faith in that terrible hundred-year period. One of the saddest features of the still-young twenty-first century is that this awful trend is undoubtedly continuing. By far the most persecuted religious group in the world today are Christians, and they are dying by the thousands especially in the Middle East and in Africa.” Lastly, regardless of one’s personal position regarding Christianity or religion, we can all agree that the freedom to practice one’s faith in peace is a fundamental right that belongs to all. By supporting Open Doors, I am supporting more than my faith or other Christians, specifically the persecuted church, I am supporting all of mankind, as I assert both the Judeo-Christian and the Enlightenment understanding of the human being – one that states that the person has certain inalienable rights and freedoms to include religious freedom.

Open Doors is a great resource for understanding what is happening in countries hostile to Christianity. They send daily and monthly prayer updates so that those of us in open countries can pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters.
Of even greater consequence, Open doors provides on the ground support in many of these countries, offering direct aid to Christians in need. This may be food, shelter, medical aid, and especially Bibles and Christian literature.
I have been an Open doors supporter and have profited from their updates for many years. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to know more about persecuted Christians and to get involved in praying for and helping them.

I am so thankful for groups such as Open Doors that bring news to us of our brothers and sisters across the world. And I praise God for the opportunity to partner with them in prayer and in giving as they minister to the persecuted church and continue to share the gospel.

The app, as well as the emails, offer some very practical help in my prayer time. Earlier this year, I was pleading with God to breathe new life into my prayers. Open Doors has been one very precious part of His answer.

My heart has been broken for the lost, for the persecutors, and for the persecuted. And I rejoice to join with all of my fellow siblings in Christ, in the hallowing of God's name.

To be able to focus my prayers on a specific person or family or group or city, is so helpful to the focus of my prayer time. And I gain so much more than I give.

Here is something specific that has been given to me: the knowledge and understanding of just how necessary it is to pray without ceasing.

In this tragic season of increased Christian persecution throughout the world, the work that Open Doors does is vital. They inform the Church of prayer and support needs. They shine a spotlight on countries that are bent on destroying Christianity. I am so thankful for Open Doors and the work they do. Their commitment to our brothers and sisters throughout the world can be life saving and puts pressure on their circumstances to possibly enact change. THIS is the real deal - - - an organization that stands for, prays for, and brings hope to the persecuted church.

Cant forget about our brothers and sisters in the church all over the world.

I have been a supporter of Open Doors for a few year's. Open Doors supports and aids the persecuted church around the world and I am blessed to be a very small part in the work they do. Their workers in the persecuted countries give up to date information. Open Doors is transparent about what they do with the support given, and how it helps the iindividuals and families of the persecuted church. The staff is also caring and humble in the work that they do. I highly recommend Open Doors.

I contribute to this organization because i have followed its activities in helping people in many challenging parts of the world. Open Doors takes great risks in helping people in places where that is very dangerous to do. They help support people who have lost everything for what they believe.

I appreciate what Open Doors does to help and highlight the plight of persecuted Christians worldwide. What we take for granted in the U.S. is not true worldwide as professing Christ can cost someone everything at the most basic level. I want to help encourage and alleviate the suffering of everyone, especially those in the household of faith.

What an amazing charity Open Doors is. I love the way they care for those persecuted around the world that no one else notices.
They are a voice to those who have been silenced.
They are hope to the hopeless.
Well done Open Doors!

I have confidence in The Lord’s actions through this organization and its people. I’m more concerned about obedience to His call than anything else when choosing where and how much to give and Open Doors hears and obeys the heart of Our Savior!

I believe Open Doors has a great heart for God and the people of the world. There is love, grace, peace, Jesus, salvation, food, bibles and provisions shared to all the people of the world who are in need or who are persecuted.

I have a heart for the persecuted and want to help them. Open Doors has impressed me with the work they do for the persecuted around the world. I appreciate the mailings I get with the stories of individuals experiencing persecution which humble me learning of their great faith in God. Their prayer list provides people I can pray for specifically each day.

They move, inspire, and convict me to do more for my brothers and sisters in Christ

Open Doors has broadened my scope and enlarged my heart for the Church of Jesus Christ world-wide. I find it a humbling privilege to learn of Christians who are suffering severely for their faith and be able to be touched by them and to touch them in return through intercessory prayer. I wish I could describe what happens in my heart when I pray for my precious brothers and sisters. It is truly a work of the Holy Spirit! The ministry of Open Doors promotes and directs strategic and effective prayer. On behalf of myself and my local church, I am so grateful for Open Doors' fruitful labors.

This ministry does a great job of highlighting the needs of persecuted Christians around the world so we can pray for them (so important!). They also have many projects serving persecuted Christians, and when we give, we know that our gifts are making a difference in the lives of our worldwide brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm grateful for this ministry and all the good work they do!

A little over a year ago, I felt God leading me to pray for persecuted Christians around the world. Open Doors USA has been an invaluable resource. I promptly memorized their list of the 50 countries where persecution is the worst so that I could pray for Christians in those countries daily. Their annual report on these countries tells me what Christians there are facing and offers prayer points for each one, as well as describing what is happening in terms of persecution globally. This year's report focused on the "double persecution" suffered by women around the world.
You can choose weekly and/or daily updates to stay apprised of current events, such as the 2019 bombings in Sri Lanka. I love the daily prayer app which often includes testimonies of those who have suffered. I am in the habit of asking, "Lord, teach me how to pray." It's been humbling to see how many times believers I have never met have received answers to specific prayers the Lord led me to pray. I'm SO THANKFUL for this connection and the on-going work around the world, often clandestine, that Open Doors does to provide aid and relief to those who are persecuted.

Why do I believe in the mission of Open Doors?
As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior I've lived in an environment where I've been blessed with sound biblical teaching. I started realizing that the body of Christ, the Church, is more than just those I know or have become acquainted with, but exists through out the whole world. As I started becoming more and more exposed to the work of Open Doors and the persecution and suffering of millions of other Christians I realized I wanted to help. I have never experienced persecution (yet). But what I've learned is that when one part of the body suffers the whole body hurts. So if I can help alleviate some of the pain, sorrow, and heartache of other believers in the body of Christ I will. They need to know that others care and want to help them so they can persevere in the hope and faith and grace and mercy the Lord has given them. I think Open Doors serves this role in an exceptional way. Open Doors is meeting the spiritual and material needs of those most deserving of it - the persecuted.

God bless,

This organization, that I happened on accidentally, changed my walk with God and my mother's. We were going through an extremely difficult time, and Open Doors opened our eyes to what true suffering for Christ looked like. Praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ gave us a purpose we never had before. 16 years later, and my mother has gone on to glory, but I'm still praying for my brethren, and sharing their needs on my social media accounts. I thank God for this ministry, and how they support those where faith costs the most!

I have a disciple in Somalia. He is in need of a Bible but was afraid to download the one I recommended to him because his phone is shared and having a Bible in Somalia is risky. I phoned Open Doors here in the US and I was told that the do have people on the ground there. If my disciple would just email Open Doors at the address I was given, they would make every effort to get my disciple a Bible. Thank you Open Doors, that is such a great help for this man.

I was in the US Army in the War in Vietnam. When I came home I was unable to find Peace. Even after I gave my life to Jesus Christ I had many difficulties that was a result of the War.
However, I did not give up. Jesus has seen me through many trials and with his help I have
come out Victorious with his mighty help. You see, I am a Combat Veteran. His Love for us
is Amazing!

Any organization that helps those suffering as much as Open Doors has is worthy of everyone’s support.

Open Doors is truly doing God’s work in the places that need it most. I’m grateful for the selfless people who make up this organization and to almighty God for impressing upon me the importance of remaining humble and helping others, both financially and in prayer, through channels like Open Doors. They’re wonderful.

Open doors has a history of being trustworthy and honest, and their mission is very important worldwide.

I have been impressed by Open Doors because they present the most relevant prayer needs for believers all over the world. It is evident that they truly care about making a difference for our suffering brothers and sisters. I use their resources on a regular basis, and I’m proud to partner with their ministry.

Always insightful stories about the persecuted Church you can't find elsewhere in the media. Doing great work to support our brothers and sisters around the world in need of help with daily living.

I did not know wether the Bible was true before. As I was reading Revelations about Christians being beheaded, I thought, "Well, that's arcane. Certainly that would never happen in this day and age. I'll just Google 'beheaded Christians' to confirm". That's when I found Open Doors. The information shared on their website is eye-opening. You don't see these reports on the news. Thanks to Open Doors I woke up, and have since come to find that the entire Bible is literally true.

Thank you and God Bless!

We,,I first heard Bro Andrew over 40 yrs ago--very inspiring story.

Then when we started supporting Open doors, the rep Karen Schneider is SO good for
us. She gives prayer an encouragement any time.

I also like and use the stories from persecuted Christians--how they endure!

My monthly donation to Open Doors is one that makes me feel more impactful than any other I make. I know that my donation is working hard to help relieve the widepread suffering and growing persecution of our Christian brothers and sisters. As a person who has a family and a job, I have no other means of reaching these members of my extended Christian family. I'm so very grateful to Open Doors for their ministry and their faithfulness in serving these most desperate among all Christians.

Brother Andrew inspired me as soon as I became a Christian in April 1982. I knew God had called me to go behind the IRON CURTAIN. 18 months after becoming a Christian, after rejecting Christian Science, I spent 3 summers for one month each, smuggling Bibles into Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and at the Russian Border.
Now I support Open Doors to help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ who can lose so much, including their lives, holding firm to their Lord God. They are so courageous. We must help and donate to this wonderful cause for good, as all our money is from God...so please ask Him what He would like you to give to those suffering so much in faith, hope and love of Jesus Christ.

I have followed this charity and have been contributing to it for over 25 years. Ever since I read Brother Andrew's thrilling autobiography, I have been motivated by the wonderful stories of lives touched and changed by the spreading of the Gospel through the distribution of Bibles by Christ disciples in dangerous and foreign environments.

Open Doors is an organization that supports persecuted Christians worldwide. They include locations with pictures and short narratives which enables readers to see their work through a more personal perspective. We see faces and places where our brothers and sisters in Christ live out their faith everyday. I appreciate seeing how my donations are used to help these Christians.

May God bless the work being done in His Name.

GOD BE THE GLORIA, HONOR,AND POWER. IN THE NAME OF LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD...EM´A...

To be a part of a Ministry that labors with our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in the Lord, is the greatest testimony of loving God and loving people. Thank you Open Doors, you've opened my heart to being a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

Open Doors informs its supporters of urgent requests for prayers so that we are aware of the persecutions going on in various countries and can lift up brothers and sisters who need the Lord's help and strength right away. I like its Christmas Gift Catalog because it lets me know the works they are doing - running safe houses, giving children a chance for an education, providing trauma support, getting Bibles to those who need God's Word, teaching poor widows a skill so that they can be self-sufficient and supporting Bible students. I am impressed that the ground workers can reach suffering believers quickly to give financial support, and pay exorbitant fines imposed by authorities. I am grateful that Open Doors is able to help believers in North Korea. The monthly prayer calendars give us an opportunity to fight battles through prayer, as well as to praise God for what He is doing. The daily devotionals help those in the "free" world to confront our misconceptions. I pray also for the work at Open Doors, that it may continue to be a blessing to the Body of Christ.

I read God's Smuggler as a young adult and have always remembered the miracles God provided for Brother Andrew. Not too many years ago I became aware of Open Doors. I'm amazed at the love and compassion and fervor they have to strengthen and support persecuted believers around the world. They provide current information for those who want to pray for the persecuted as well as provide practical ways to encourage those suffering for the name of Jesus. This is a ministry that is thriving with the help of their committed president and staff who live out God's word to encourage, pray for and support His suffering church.

Where do I begin? I began praying for Open Doors, then found out that I could pray for countries on their World Watch List daily by downloading the list! I also receive Standing Strong Through the Storm lessons in my daily emails, which shows a scripture, and the particular way(s) that a believer, believers, and or church(es) are living out that scripture in their daily lives. The stories of how believers and non-believers alike in countries around the world where Christians are most persecuted, are being ministered to by Open Doors is nothing short of amazing. Miracles happen all of the time through their ministry in the lives of the people from these countries where persecution is so extreme. Many of them say that they know that we are praying for them just because of how God intervenes in their lives. I am also encouraged by the stories that Open Doors shares of these severely persecuted believers praying constantly, boldly sharing the Gospel with their fellow countrymen, and just living out the Christian life. I also hear stories of how these people have received assistance with daily needs and encouragement from believers in the west, who have sent letters and cards to them, when they were destitute, and how it encouraged them in the Lord, and kept them from losing faith. Open Doors is truly a God-given blessing to people all over the world! God is using them mightily to further his kingdom!

Brother Andrew's legacy lives on as Open Doors works to equip, encourage, advocate for, and rescue Believers around the world. We can pray and give as they go in Jesus' name.

When I pray about my priorities for my giving, I have always sensed God's peace about sharing what I can with Open Doors and their ministries. I do appreciate their communications also ; it all helps me understand what they are doing.

My first knowledge of Open Doors came from Brother Andrew’s biography. I read it to my foster children, then I began supporting them. The knowledge of, and the personal testimonies of the persecuted caused great grief in my soul. I prayed for them everyday and often awakened during the night to pray. Through my persecuted brothers and sisters I learned what the true church is supposed to be; obedient always no matter the cost. I have found encouragement from reading about their faithfulness unto death, because I could trust that God the Father would also give me courage unto death. I do not have much money, so I chose to give my offering to Open Doors , because that is what I would want others to do for me and my family when persecution happens in my country. I have been supporting Open Doors for more than two decades. The persecuted are part of my family, they are in my heart. World missions has changed, the needs have increased, persecution has become pandemic. I am so thankful for the Lord leading me to be a partner with Open Doors.

I thank God for the work they have committed themselves to do for those of the suffering curch. I'm privileged to be a part. Pray and ask God what he would have you do. Whenever I had a inquiry or request their response was always quickly forthcoming.

My wife and I have great concern for Christians being persecuted all over the world. We wanted to do what we could to help these people. God led us to Open Doors. We have faith through our Lord Jesus Christ that Open Doors is using our donations to truly help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. What we do is a small thing, but Open Doors gathers these small things and uses them to make a real difference in the lives of persecuted Christians all over the world. Thank you Open Doors for doing the work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Open Doors faithfully, consistently, and confidentially gives aid, encouragement, and protection to those who are being deliberately brutalized around the world because of their faith. Their work is profoundly worthy of recognition and support.

I first learned about Open Doors many years ago after I heard Brother Andrew speaking about his work. I respect the work they do, and I am very happy with how much they communicate with me about the people we are helping through our donations. I am inspired by their stories and I appreciate the chance to help this ministry.

I read God’s Smuggler years and years ago. Was thrilled when I realized this organization sends Bibles and other support to persecuted Christians. The work they do is vital to the persecuted and to us who sometimes forget the freedoms that we do have.

Since following Open Doors I have come to realize how much Christians and missionaries put their lives in harms way to bring the Gospel to others. They face severe persecution and torture and death. My goal is to help in whatever way I can financially and through daily prayers.

What I love about open doors is that they bring awareness to us about the persecuted Christians throughout the world. Also open doors provides a holistic approach to helping Christians throughout the world especially in the countries where persecution is the worst.

5 years ago I learned about open doors through an email sent to me. I was impressed with the ministry, the literature provided to pray for individuals, and nations. I pray for the persecuted Church everyday but with deeper focus 2 times a week. Open Doors helps me keep on top of persecution worldwide. Thank you Open Doors for your ministry to our Savior and Messiah and to His persecuted children. You are an organization worth supporting.

I found this nonprofit organization after the New-Zealand news. I really like this one because not only I can participate financially to help the persecuted church but I get very pertinent news about the prayers need of those people and I also can learn more about the everyday life of my brothers and sisters.

Thank you OpenDoors may God keeps working through you.

I have been concerned about the persecuted church for along time but I am not sure how I became acquainted with Opened Doors but I read about Brother Andrew for many years. I have listened to their Prayer Specials for several months. Sorry that I can't be more exact. But I know that they are doing a very good work. Clifford Branson

Love to stand together with people who suffered. Open Door has kept me informed and encouraged.

I was fortunate to take part in an Open Doors trip to a country where persecution is common. On this trip I was blessed to lead prayer for an underground church leader. We were lead by and taught about everyday life by people from that country. Everything was done with excellence. What captured my attention was when one of the in-country leaders said that we inspired him. In other words, by Open Doors bringing us there they were inspired to continue by our coming and supporting them. Hats off to Open Doors!!!

I believe God Himself calls me to help the persecuted Church and I praise Him for giving me the opportunity to help through the ministry of Open Doors, and I find the confirmation in God’s World - 1 John 3:7 - Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

All the glory to God, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior, our only Hope, Amen.

I have been a volunteer Connector with Open Doors for almost two years now. A Connector is a volunteer who goes to local churches here in America introducing them to the Persecuted Church by holding prayer vigils, supplying printed information or speaking at church events. The people at Open Doors I have worked with are very caring Christians. They not only care about the Persecuted Church, but they care about the Open Doors volunteers that they work with. They are very supportive. God bless Open Doors!

When I first gave to charity I did so blindly, assuming that my dollars we're helping the less fortunate. But receiving expensive mailers every month led me to question how much of my money was actually helping. So I did my research and found Open Doors. I am so thankful for these people who helped me to help those I can't myself. To their credit I am thankful I've never received an expensive mail out flyer or brochure, keep up the great work guys!

Supported for decades. One of the few helping persecuted Christians around the world.

I have known the people in the Open Doors organization as I was travelling with them behind the Iron Curtain to serve the persecuted church there in the 1970s. As I spent time on the Open Doors base, I was impressed by the spiritual sincerity and integrity of the staff. Integrity is built into this organization at the very foundation and this characteristic has endured throughout the years. I believe they have one of the lowest percentages of funds going to administrative expenses among all the different non profit organizations. They truly serve those to whom they are called.

I love Open Doors With Brother Andrew because it helps me know how to pray for my brothers and sisters in need around the world, and it helps me see how my prayers are being answered. They do amazing work for believers who are being persecuted!

My parents were Quaker ministers, & briefly stateside, Missionary Teachers @ a Native American school in Arizona. After we moved back to WA state, my parents took us to see many different speakers of renown in the Christian world (i.e. Corrie Ten Boom, Richard Wurmbrand, & Brother Andrew-before Open Doors) when they would come to Seattle. My mom gave small monetary support to many different missionary efforts. I am trying to honor her & God by following in her footsteps. She was a woman of great faith & compassion, and I thank God I was raised by humble parents of virtue.

I've been a supporter of theirs for some time. They truly live out the Gospel of Christ, loving the persecuted, and doing all they can to support their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

My wife Linda and I have supported the persecuted church for about 25 years now. We met Nobel Alexander ( prisoner in Castro's Cuba for many years...he wrote "I Will Die Free") a few years ago. All he had to do was tell the authorities he would not preach the gospel and he could be free. He would not. God used him greatly in prison. I am just completing a class on the persecuted church in our church. We are using a couple of books by Nik Ripken for the class....'The Insanity of God' and 'The Insanity of Obedience'. Both have really been faith building. To see what God is doing among so many Muslims and in China, in particular, has been amazing. I am now working with an orphanage in Kenya. Their faith and prayer lives are what give these vulnerable children protection and confidence in the Lord. We want to be able to help the persecuted church wherever we can. David Nehlsen

I love what Open Doors does....for years helping to get good news and relief to those who suffer and need it. Wonderful work! Thank you for helping me to participate in helping brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering and taking the news of Jesus to those who don't hear freely.

May God bless this ministry, their laborerers and their labor.

I have had a heart for the persecuted church for many years but didn't know how to get involved. Open Doors provided me an opportunity to get involved as a connector. I learn about the persecuted church and I tell members of my church about it so they'll know too. It's a perfect circle of awareness-raising and allows me to do more than just give money.

Any ministry (such as yours) which comes to the help and aid of persecuted Christians in the world is worthy of notice. Its a pleasure to financially support you!

Open Doors is a great organization that reaches out to those who are being persecuted around the world. They do an excellent job of keeping me aware of what the needs are and how I can help. I highly recommend Open Doors!

Open Doors is invaluable to serve our brothers and sisters suffering severe oppression and damage. It reminds us that we are to love and grieve with them as our neighbors for whom Jesus died every bit as much as any one of us. There is simple not enough we can do to support financially and prayerfully these beloved who are under duress.

Open Doors allows me to tangibly love my brothers and sisters who are struggling in major ways due to persecution. At times I’ve wondered why they have it so bad, and comparatively, I don’t. But then I realized, the imbalance is what puts me in a position to help. That, and Open Doors. I know specifically what to pray for thanks to the prayer app, and I know every donation I make is being put to good use in aiding my fellow christians. I am very thankful for that!

What a pleasure and honor it is to help my bothers and sisters in Christ through a competent and hardwork organization that is Open Doors, my heart is filled with joy. From Brazil, I have the blessed opportuinty to help christians from Africa, China and other countries that perhaps I will never have the chance to visit, all thanks to Open Doors. God bless all lifes comitted to this holy fellowship, may we always bring light into the darkness like our King Jesus Christ! Amen!

Open Doors is doing the will of GOD the FATHER and that is why I support them. Any and everything that I have read, heard on TV, heard on the radio, and tithe to regarding Open Doors speaks the truth and confirms they are who they claim to be. Christians taking care of Christians, non-Christians, and honoring GOD the FATHER, JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and the HOLY SPIRIT.

This is a non profit that is focused on the sufferings of people, of brothers/sisters in Christ. This world is passing away and one day we will enter into a never ending time period w/ God. Its worth helping now. The Fathers heart is for the broken and the hurting, ours should be too.

Very thankful for Open Doors. So thankful that I can help brothers and sisters in Christ who need our help. One in Christ- Open Doors helps us to pray and help the parts of the body that are in pain- Will continue to support and pray for Open Doors and for the persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ-

Open Doors is a tireless advocate for suffering Christians worldwide. I have supported this ministry since 1973 and it remains FIRST on my list of 'most important missions' in the world. It has also led me to support another mission, Bible League International, involved in similar efforts in the most difficult places. This is an organization with high integrity that continues to find ways to more effectively pursue its mission, which includes encouraging believers everywhere to become engaged IN this mission through PRAYER.

It is a blessing to bless others. God has blessed Dorothy and I because we obey Him and give to help others. We are not able to give as much as we desire but God blesses us for giving.

Open Doors provides Christians an opportunity to help those brothers and sisters living in parts of the world which experience open persecution for their faith. Open Doors provides regular newsletters highlighting how funds are being used to spread the Gospel and provide for the critical needs of Christians and their families in these areas. I have made giving to Open Doors a part of my monthly giving to the Body of Christ.

I love this charity because of what they stand for and the fact that they are trying to change the world. The persecution of Christians is a sad reality, and I don’t want anyone to suffer for their belief in God and in Jesus Christ. I want to help in any way I can!

They feature very good articles that pull at my heartstrings. They have a very genuine desire to share the gospel no matter what the cost

Open Doors does an amazing job of making it easy for me to know what's happening to our brothers and sisters globally and to pray for them. I cannot say how invaluable Open Doors has been in keeping my mind on things above and following our biblical call to remember those in chains when I have never met someone in chains before. I love being united through one Spirit with these brothers and sisters who I do not know now but will spend an eternity with!

This organization is amazing about getting help to persecuted Christians around the world; and also about getting information to the western world about these people. They care wholeheartedly about their mission and the projects they are supporting and help implement. I am very proud to volunteer with Open Doors. Their volunteer programs are especially helpful; and all their employees care about the volunteers and want to help in any way.

I love this organization that they go beyond to help persecuted Christians and help them
Keep the

Open Doors is in touch with what God is doing in the world and with the suffering Church. They supply us with up-to-date information both electronically and in print. They responded to our church's request to be present and speak at our annual mission banquet and answer the questions of our members. It was excellent! Open Doors is an important part of God's Kingdom on earth today.

Always thankful for those that faithfully serve those persecuted for our Lord's sake. They provide an array of services and do their best to keep their supporters informed and involved. A blessing to serve along side such an organization.

We are always informed about the plight if the persecution of Christians. We are to support and encourage and pray for our brothers and sisters. We are grateful to be able to minister with our resources to those suffering and to enable a godly group of people to be there to help. God is good, His Word is powerful, and lives are being changed through the ministry of Open Doors. I appreciate the prayer calendars and bulletins we receive to pray very specifically for all of them.

Excellent! Above reproach. Provides support to the many times forgotten or those endangered Christians other organizations can not.

Joined the volunteer ranks in 2010 and continue to invest my time and my finances in Open Doors work for my persecuted family around the globe. The staff and management that I interact with are totally committed to the goals, objectives, and specific plans of the organization. They are responsive to my requests and needs, and I am blessed to work with them as a volunteer.

I have a passion for helping our Persecuted brothers and sisters in Nations hostile to the Christian Faith. This organization uses its money wisely and is very honest and open about its finances. I support Open Doors every month with a gift.

A lifeboat in the flood of persecution going on around the world

Thanks for supporting our brothers and sisters in Christ!

This is a spiritually profitable group. It has helped my prayer life and intercessory spirit too. I feel happy and fullfillefd praying for others especially the persecuted.

Open Doors is an excellent organization. They do a lot of great work. I feel like my donations are really being used to help those in need. They are passionate about what they do, and they truly care about the people they are helping.

Open Doors is one of the best Christian organizations I've found. They help so many persecuted Christians around the world, and they keep donors updated about what's happening and what the organization is doing.

I traveled as a courier to China in 1988. I first learned about Open Doors when I was 15 and read Brother Andrews book "God's Smuggler".
This organization has assisted and supported human rights and freedoms for peoples suffering persecution for their beliefs. Many who work with Open Doors do so at great personal risk, all to support, help and encourage others suffering for their faith. Sanctioned abuse, imprisonment and murder of persons because of their faith and conviction violates human rights at the most basic level.

Open Doors is an amazing source of information on global persecution. Their work saves and changes lives, and their articles have made me aware of how I can help people suffering around the world.

Thirty eight years ago my husband and I began to suppport Open Doors Ministry after learning how Christians in Communist China were being persecuted and not even allowed to have a bible. My heart went out to these people, and with my husband's support became involved with the ministry which included trips to deliver bibles to suffering Christians and to serve on the board of directors. To see tears of joy as these Christians held God's word, which had been denied to them, showed me the importance of getting God's word to those who so desperately wanted it. Now thirty eight years later, the need for God's word is still so great and we rejoice in helping Open Doors fill that need.

Open Doors is doing the most valuable work on earth - getting the precious and holy word of God into the most hardest to reach places! Their monthly prayer diaries that come in the post help make their supporters like me feel committed and connected to the mission as we pray for breakthrough. May God continue to bless this organisation immeasurably!

Open Doors has opened my eyes to the great suffering Christians endure, and the difference I can make in their lives when I pray for them. They are my brothers and sisters in Christ, and I am honored to intercede so that their pain is not wasted, and their lives will impact others for good.

It’s such a huge blessing to know that Open Doors is keeping me informed about how to pray for persecuted Christians in other countries, that I can help by praying on their behalf.

Many years ago, I prayed God would show my husband and me some one He wished us to support. Shortly after that, I heard about Brother Andrew through his book, "God's Smuggler". My late husband and I began supporting Open Doors. Each morning after breakfast I pray for the people who are being persecuted in the country from your Prayer Bulletin. My heart goes out to those who must suffer because they love and serve our wonderful Lord.

I am a Pastor and have been able to be apart of this organization for sometime now. I fully support their efforts to reach those who have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ yet. I also applaud their efforts in supporting those who follow Christ under severe persecution. May our hearts be touched through their testimonies so much that we would go as Jesus commanded us in the Great Commission whether over seas or in our backyard. The gospel and kingdom of God will advance and He is using Open Doors to do that.
Pastor Mark Stiver

Open Doors does a fantastic job of keeping me up to date on Christian persecution around the world, and by aiding these persecuted believers. Open Doors' radio spots, emails, and videos are very professional and enlightening. Praise God that they tell us, and help those in need.

My experience with Open Doors started 40 yrs ago with the reading of the Book , God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew , Open Door's founder. This led me to not only to start praying for and financially giving to Open Doors for the Christians behind the Iron Curtain but also to help arrange a meeting for a Russian believer to come speak to churches in Hawaii about the church there. I credit Open Doors and their ministry for the decision my husband and I made 10 yrs later to go as missionaries into the newly liberated countries of Lithuania and Romania. We also supported Operation Pearl where millions of Bibles were smuggled into China. Now 40 yrs later we are still supporting and praying with them as they go throughout the world to help the persecuted church. I thank God for the vision that was birthed in Brother Andrew's heart is still strong and focused on helping people and churches receive Bibles and support in restricted nations of the world.

I was given a flyer by a friend at church. That was my introduction to Open Doors. The more I read, the more I was compelled to donate. I kept reading and watching videos and I couldn't help but get even more involved with my time and prayers. I know there are other charities out there doing wonderful work, too, but I have just felt drawn to Open Doors and what they stand for and all they do for the persecuted Christians all over the world.

I have known about the work of Brother Andrew and Open Doors for a long time. My gratitude for this organization has deepened recently because they are advocating for a missing pastor from my country of origin. I also appreciate that Open Doors believes in the power of prayer to make a difference for persecuted Christians anywhere in the world.

It was back in 2001 that I started with Open Doors to be a prayer leader warrior with a group of about six ladies. We met every Tuesday and prayed for the persecuted brethren around the world. I believe that prayer group is still meeting together.
I left the church where I lead that ministry and now attend another and have tried to continue it but has not come about at the church I attend now.
I have been and still pray for our persecuted brethren every day. I receive the Open Doors Prayer Force Alert and use it as my guide to pray. I also have a list of ten ways to pray for them as well. When special requests come up by email, I try to put them on my prayer list and pray every day for those.
I thank you so very much for the webinars of which one I just heard tonight. I have attended Voice of the Martyrs Conferences as well. Keep up the great work for our persecuted brethren and God Bless Andrew for starting this ministry many years ago. I have read his book and try to get others to read it as well. I have read some of his books.
Thank you again for the Open Door USA ministry.
Reitha Stevens
I am a widow now since 2016. God is using me to serve him.

Open Doors USA is a wonderful organization. They provide wonderful resources to those with the greatest need.

Open Doors has truly opened my eyes to the extraordinary lives of people around the globe who suffer for their love of Jesus, and the compassion and help that the people with Open Doors has been able to bring to them. Knowing that there are boots on the ground to support and comfort those who have been through so much is amazingly comforting to me as well. I know I cannot serve in the way that the Open Doors staff does, so I do what I can and support them through prayer and offerings as God gives to me. The stories that come to me through Open Doors are inspiring and humbling and they remind me to pray fervently for those who are suffering in ways I have never experienced. I am constantly reminded that God has placed these people in these extreme situations and He will sustain them, but we are commanded to do whatever we can to help them through their difficult situations and I am so very grateful for the wonderful work Open Doors does in their mission arena. Praise God you don't run and hide, you don't give up and you don't give in. Thank you so much for your amazing work.

I am just an ordinary American who is a born again Christian. Seeing what has been taking place in our country since the turn of the 21st century, I have become much more aware of a need to do more in my Christian life. As I always do, I prayed about it and asked the Lord to reveal to me more ways I can further his Kingdom. One day an email showed up from Open Doors that really spoke to my heart. I had already been praying for persecuted Christians in the middle east as it was a time when ISIS was butchering Christians by the millions, men, women, and children. I immediately recognized that Open Doors was a way I could help the situation not only in the Middle East but I could help persecuted Christians all around the world. So I made the decision to get involved in the outreach Open Doors does.
I soon found that this ministry to persecuted Christians is a much larger organization than I first anticipated. Their ministry contains many facets of help. They physically help Christians around the globe with food, medicine, a place to live, and what I consider a must do, they provide physical Bibles by smuggling them to those who can't get them in countries that have banned their ownership. They promote Bible studies and learning about the Gospel. Also, they have those who visit persecuted Christians in prisons for their faith in our Lord.
All of their activities are geared to helping God's people in countries where it is not legal to practice faith in our God and his Kingdom. But they also perform a great service to those of us who are lucky enough to live where practicing our faith is not persecuted.
They have an internet presence that keeps those of us who care informed of their progress and stories of how many have kept their faith in spite of all the persecution. These stories help to bolster my own faith and help teach me how important it is to encourage those of the world who aren't as lucky as I am. I feel that Open Doors is highly worthy of the support of all of us who consider ourselves part of God's Kingdom and the Church of Jesus.

I first heard of Brother Andrew from his book, God's Smuggler. I then learned of his organization and tried to find out what information I could. When I read of the work that Open Doors do for the persecuted church, I wanted to be involved in any way I could. I enjoy receiving updated information from Open Doors about my brothers and sisters in the Lord. I wanted to donate so that those who are unable, could receive a Bible to help them grow in the Lord and stand strong in persecution.

Best non-profit there is anywhere! I can't think of any other organization that does so much for the body of Christ. They deserve all the support they can receive.

I first heard about Brother Andrew several years ago when I picked up his book about how God prepared him and lead him to smuggle Bibles into communist countries. The book was absolutely great! It truly stirred my faith toward God more than it already was.

Several years later I was in a place with a strong desire to support persecuted Christians and I happened across his book again. So I read it again and just soon after I started reading it I came across Open Doors ministry online completely separate from reading the book. I was excited to know that Brother Andrew had a ministry that was available online to help support the persecuted Christians. And so I began my support.

I believe Brother Andrew is a great man of God and I joyfully give my support to what his heart has established through Open Doors ministry.

Prior to hearing news about terrorist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram, I never really thought about persecution of Christians in the 20th or 21st century, except maybe in one or two countries like China or North Korea. As I began hearing more and more news about these groups killing Christians, I began to have a growing concern for Christians in other countries. I found out about the ministry of Open Doors and how they support Christians in these persecuted areas of the world and I decided I wanted become more involved. I wanted to become more knowledgeable about what is going on in the world as it concerns persecuted Christians and I wanted to help Open Doors fulfill their promise to these persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ, to support them spiritually through prayer and getting bibles and other Christian literature into their hands, to support them emotionally by letting these brothers and sisters know that they are not alone, and to support them materially by helping to provide needed assistance, wether it be via food distribution, medicine or helping them rebuild their homes after groups like ISIS and Boko Haram have destroyed them. This is why I have supported Open Doors for the past several years and why I believe other Christians should as well. I hope you will become involved by supporting Open Doors as they support our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ.

I receive many updates on the plight of Christians around the world and how Open Doors tirelessly helps them. I also receive a monthly prayer list so I can also support this incredible organization lifting them and their work to the Lord.

This is a world-wide charity that serves Christian families, both heavily and not so heavily
persecuted. They bless Christians in "hot spots" of the world by providing Holy Bibles, food,
and other much-needed spiritual and physical support to people where family members
have been murdered, imprisoned, and other-wise tortured and forced to flee jobs & homes.
Some believers have come away from being Muslim or Hindu-based beliefs, and had painful
separation from family that won't accept their changed hearts toward Jesus Christ. Open
Doors also serves those who have more religious freedoms, by sending these stories, prayer calendars about the prayer needs, and opportunities to financially lift Christians up that need our support in these last days before all our judgments will be final, the plagues
come after the mark of the beast, and Jesus comes for those who have loved Him through their love toward "the least of these."--See Matthew 25:31-46.

We have been supporting Open Doors for approximately 35 years. Open Doors has a heart for persecuted Christians thru-out the world, and most importantly, they are on the ground strengthening and supporting the church with face to face contact with Christians who are suffering for their faith. It is a work that is very near the heart of God. My wife and I would encourage anyone to prayerfully consider your involvement. Open doors ministries are a blessing to everyone involved.

I was just a very young Christian when I first heard Brother Andrew and the plight of Christians around our world. During my life, I had the opportunity to work and live overseas for multiple years. A real eye opener to me.

I'm older now, I travel very little, but the flame still burns for my brothers and sisters across the globe. That is why I am so thankful for the continued work of organizations like Open Doors.

Their constant borage of emails and monthly prayer lists serve as reminders of my duty, yes, scriptural duty, to pray and seek my Father's face in behalf of my persecuted brothers and sisters. But, it's more than just a daily duty, it's a honor, and a joy. I am thankful Open Doors for reminding me to remember.
In Christ, Rich

I am happy to support Open Doors each month. The work they are doing can never be measured in this life. Encouraging the persecuted with compassion and help in material ways. I feel certain that God is pleased.

Open doors Ministry is devoted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They support persecuted Christians around the world and work to get the gospel into difficult places, sometimes at Great risk. We have supported the ministry for many years and find them to be completely trustworthy.

Highly recommended if you want to help persecuted Christians around the world. You can count on Open Doors.
