Open Doors works alongside Christians in such places – to look after widows and orphans, equip and mentor pastors, counsel people who are traumatised, provide food, education and Bibles. “It isn’t easy being a Christian in Iran but that’s why I’m so happy that you’re (Open Doors Team) here with me today, encouraging me and teaching me new things.” Sheefteh a believer in Iran

  4. Thank you Father for the faith of our brothers and sisters who represent you in North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Pakistan, Iran and Yemen. We ask you to protect them, encourage them, provide for them and strengthen them. We ask that you bless the money we raise today and the Open Doors workers who will use it to help your family of vulnerable believers. Thank you for all the blessings and freedom we enjoy in this country. Amen
