So-called Islamic State set out to destroy the church in Syria and Iraq. Together, we helped keep hope alive. Thank you.

But persecution, conflict, poverty and hunger are still major threats.

“The support of the church globally is very vital,” says Open Doors local partner Pastor Edward. “Your support makes it possible to bring the light of Christ further.”

Today, will you give to make hope last for Christians in the Middle East?

Every £36 could provide a vital parcel of food, clothing and blankets for a persecuted Christian struggling to survive the harsh winter.

Every £50 could enable two vulnerable believers to access essential health services.

For single gifts any excess funds for this appeal will be used to support persecuted Christians where the need is greatest. For monthly gifts will go to where most needed.
