The Open Doors ministry began with the bold prayers of one Dutch man, Brother Andrew. He knew that without God, his mission to smuggle Bibles could not succeed.
Today, the persecuted church ask for prayer more than almost anything else.
In the most desperate of situations, where almost nothing is certain, they know that God is more powerful than the forces that seek to discourage or destroy them.
Each quarter we release a prayer guide to help you in praying for the persecuted church.
These prayer points have come from our partners on the field and the families and communities they serve.
