your global impact last year

Last year, your prayers and generosity allowed Open Doors to carry out more than 6 million acts of support globally – including Bible delivery, discipleship ministry, and more.

A note from Open Doors

You are such a blessing. In a world where persecution of Christians is intensifying, your kindness means our persecuted brothers and sisters are never alone.

You are the reason a widow in Nigeria has an income to feed herself and her children, the reason a secret believer in North Korea has the strength to follow Jesus, the reason a Muslim-background believer in the Middle East is growing in faith.

Looking back over the past year, every second you spent in prayer for your persecuted family made a difference. Every kind donation helped someone in desperate need.

Your support reached millions of persecuted believers with training, practical support, advocacy and Scripture material. Thank you.

-Gary Stagg,
Executive Director
