Few of us can imagine the reality of being overtly persecuted for our Christian faith. But research shows that more than 365 million Christians are suffering high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith in our world today. In Asia alone, 2 in 5 Christians are experiencing persecution. (Open Doors, 2024)
God’s call is clear. The time to respond is now. As believers, we have the opportunity to support, encourage and make a difference in the lives of these brave followers of Jesus.
Reach A Village is supporting ministry partners, ministry leaders and local believers as they counteract attacks on Christ followers in China, Laos, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam — ranked among the world’s top 50 countries where persecution is most serious (Open Doors, 2024) — and Russia.
Your prayers and financial support are desperately needed by Reach A Village’s ministry partners in areas of persecution. By giving today, you can help stand with and support followers of Jesus in these countries. Help provide Bibles, Bible study materials and training for believers living in these unbelievably difficult situations.
In His service,
