Open Doors
OPEN DOORS was founded in 1955 when Brother Andrew, a committed Christian, risked his freedom and began smuggling bibles into Communist countries. For almost fifty years now, Open Doors teams have dedicated themselves to serving persecuted Christians in high risk areas, not only highlighting and reporting their struggles, but being there at ground level - giving suffering families and individuals hope and encouragement, comforting those who are hurting, training pastors and leaders, supplying church materials and giving practical aid. As persecution intensifies before the return of the Lord Jesus, Brother Andrew has challenged the Open Doors' team to plan for the future.
Our Purpose; To strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and through intercessory prayer; Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering; and Educating and mobilising the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), all doors are open and God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the gospel.
