We help Christians by tailoring financial, material and spiritual support in response to the needs identified by local Christian leaders.

We seek to raise awareness about the different situations that cause Christians to suffer and to make their needs known so that we can encourage Christians to pray for one another, give financially and donate material goods.

In accordance with Biblical teaching, we believe that Christians should treat all people of all faiths with love and compassion, even those who persecute them.
