Our vision - We believe that caring for the persecuted church should be part of the DNA of every Christian.
Our mission is to strengthen and prepare Christians living in persecution, and to mobilise the Australian church to identify with the global body of Christ.
In The Field - We work through local partners and build long-term relationships in over 70 countries around the world. We partner with people who know and understand what is needed to see the church strengthened and the gospel proclaimed. Our mission is to help the local church transform their nation for Jesus.
In Australia - We partner with Christians and local churches in Australia. Your support enables believers living in some of the darkest places on Earth to be a light for Christ. Our mission is to make sure that the persecuted church is remembered in every church, every Bible study and every home.
Persecuted Church Sunday:
In preparation for the beginning of 2020, would you consider including persecution as a topic for a weekend service in 2020? Persecution is an increasing issue and we believe that the persecuted church can be a valuable mentor for our faith in Australia. At Open Doors we have been helping people follow Jesus all around the world, no matter the cost, for over 60 years.
We are happy to offer you resources to engage your congregation on the persecuted church and the lessons that it holds for the church here in Australia. By committing one Sunday in the year to our persecuted brothers and sisters you will actively connect with the global body of Christ.
If you are interested in dedicating one Sunday of the year to the persecuted church you can contact Elly at ellyh@od.org.au
