Covid-19

Coronavirus crisis

When Covid-19 hit her community, Rose was still mourning her husband - he was murdered by Fulani militants in April. Now she has no income and no way to buy food.

In Nigeria, and in many other countries, vulnerable Christians are last in line when official aid is distributed. With your help, Open Doors partners can bring the food, aid and hope they need.

Resources to use at home

Here at Open Doors we’re working to help you stay connected with your persecuted family during this difficult time. That’s why we’ve created Church at Home and Children at Home, a range of free resources for churches, individuals and families to use at home. Featuring small group sessions, prayer resources, videos, children’s activities and more.

Resources for Church at Home

On this page, you will find a regularly updated collection of resources to help you connect with the millions of Christians who have been self-isolating for years – not because of a biological virus, but because their faith is seen as toxic and dangerous.
