For over 70 years, Open Doors has done what others cannot or will not: we go where persecution is worst and stay for as long it takes. We’re not just another relief organization—we’re your bridge to a persecuted church family that desperately needs to know they’re not forgotten, and that has profound spiritual growth to offer you in return.

Open Doors has maintained a faithful on-the-ground presence in countries around the world for decades. And every year, we share what we’ve learned in the latest World Watch List, to equip you to pray with your brothers and sisters around the world.

Our purpose is to strengthen and equip Christians around the world who are facing persecution and discrimination because of their faith in Jesus Christ and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by:

• Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development, and through intercessory prayer 
• Preparing the body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering 
• Educating and mobilizing the body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and be actively involved in assisting them 

We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26).

All doors are open, and God enables His body to go into all the world and preach the gospel.
