    Imagine facing torture and death for just five words—"I believe in Jesus Christ." This is a reality for more than 245 million Christians today. They often face physical violence towards themselves or loved ones—or lose homes and jobs because of their faith in Jesus. Their burdens are not meant to be carried alone. We want to see persecuted Christians experience fellowship with the Body of Christ as their needs are met—and find renewed strength to follow Christ. Help The Persecuted has been supporting suffering Christians with practical and spiritual help since 2011 and in 2018 was established as standalone charitable organization. We pray our efforts will empower the global Church to flourish not just in the Muslim world, but also in the Western world as we share in their suffering and bear their burdens.
