Monetary gifts help organizations like Open Doors provide Bibles, literacy training, pastoral training, emergency relief items and much more. Also, volunteering on behalf of persecuted Christians is a great way to make an impact. Open Doors has a 2009 Gift Catalog online (www.OpenDoorsUSA.org) which lists current needs for persecuted Christians – like medical kits, training Christian leaders at Bethlehem Bible College and a printing press in a closed country.

Mobilize Others

Many believers in the West don’t have a clue that millions of Christians are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, there are more Christians being persecuted for their faith today than at any other time in history. You have the opportunity to tell others and to mobilize your church or small group into action.

Go To The Persecuted

Go to restrictive countries like China to visit suffering Christians…even if it is a stretch for you. Pray with them and encourage them in the faith. You will be a blessing to them and you in turn will be tremendously blessed. My travels to such countries as Colombia, China, Iraq and Pakistan have changed my life. Their faith in the face of intense persecution has humbled me but also challenged me to stand stronger in the gap with them.
