How much do you know about Christians who face death every day for their faith?…..How much should you know?

Christians are part of the Body of Christ that has grown since the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost almost two thousand years ago.

As Christianity has spread throughout the world it has encountered those who hate those who follow Jesus.

Today many, if not most, of the Christians in the world face persecution every day.

Open Doors is a ministry dedicated to supporting these brother and sisters in Christ.

Go to their website. Get informed. Pray and support this part of the Body of Christ.

How did Open Doors begin
“The year was 1955. A young Dutchman was burdened with the desire to reach out to Christians in Eastern Europe, where Christianity was becoming more and more illegal. He took his first trip to visit Christians in Poland, and was amazed at what he saw: Entire underground churches with only one Bible to share!

Brother Andrew knew he had to do something. Two years later, he arrived at the same border in a VW Bug filled with Bibles. He knew that if he was caught with the Bibles, he would be arrested, so he prayed: “Lord- In Your Word, You made blind men see. Now, I am praying that you would make seeing eyes blind.” And God answered his prayer!

Brother Andrew was able to deliver Bibles and training materials to Christians in Eastern Europe, allowing Christians to freely read God’s Word in those countries.

Today, Open Doors – the ministry started by Brother Andrew- has expanded to strengthen persecuted Christians in over 60 countries!” (From the Open Doors About Page)
