Message from Oleg and Sylvia
In 2007, my sister and I went on a medical missions trip to India. We met some persecuted missionaries while there, including a young pastor who's wife had been brutally beaten to death the week before by Hindu extremists (and his arm had been broken). We all prayed over him as he was crying, and he was planning on returning to continue sharing the truth of God. We learned that the persecuted Christians in India aren't praying against persecution, but praying that God will use the persecution to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That young man's image will forever be etched in my memory. I'd like to help support persecuted believers in India, Nepal, Pakastan & Bangladesh. Thanks for helping me out in doing so!! :-)
About persecution relief
Daily, our brothers and sisters on the field face the reality of persecution for their faith in Christ. It's not uncommon for angry mobs of anti-Christians to beat up believers, burn down churches and torture pastors
By contributing to persecution relief, you'll be a part of paying the medical expenses for believers, which can also include travel to bigger hospitals for treatment.
The funds will also be used to replace destroyed Gospel literature, rebuild houses and repair damaged church buildings, providing healing for all aspects of life touched by persecution-related attacks.
