Millions of Christians in Africa are on the run, literally fleeing for their lives, because of conflict and violence.
And thousands are killed every year – paying the highest price for their faith in Jesus. Nobody is talking about it. You can.
As a church you can stand as one with your persecuted family in sub-Saharan Africa prayer and action by adding your voice to the Arise Africa petition.
Here are a few handy resources to help get your church involved in the Arise Africa campaign.
Church fundraising activity
Church on the Run invites your church to run, walk, swim, cycle or move anyway you can to raise vital funds for Christians affected by violence and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa.
Check out our downloadable guide for ideas, inspiration and information to get your church moving.
Prayer and worship session
Scattered Church is an opportunity to stand and gather as one with your persecuted family in sub-Saharan Africa in prayer, worship and action.
A session packed with creative ideas to weave into a prayer meeting or a prayer and worship night.
Arise Africa petition
