Why Volunteer?

The family of God runs deeper than biology, geography or nationality. This is a family without borders. We are family.

Volunteering with Open Doors is not about giving up your time for a good cause but standing in prayer and action with our persecuted brothers and sisters. If your brother, sister, parent or child was experiencing severe hardship for being a Christian, what would you do? Would you encourage others to pray, to write letters, to speak out, to unite as family?

By volunteering with Open Doors, you will be helping us to raise awareness of the Persecuted Church and inspire others to meet their persecuted family and share in their challenges and blessings. Our hope is that not only will we strengthen those we serve, but by doing so we will learn to live out our faith, in every situation, each day.

"After being confronted by the persecution of believers in a talk given by an Open Doors Representative for our area five years ago, I was unable to put it out of my head. I realised the Lord Jesus was wanting me to make others aware of this and that is how I became a Church Representative."
Elizabeth, Peterhead
