Downend Baptist Church - Making Jesus known through word, life and action

Open Doors


Open doors was founded by “Brother Andrew”, it supports in prayer, encouragement and finance, Christians who are suffering for their faith. Many Pastors are murdered or imprisoned without warning, leaving their without support. Open Doors steps in to help. Christians have their houses burnt down, their Churches burnt. Open Doors helps. Sometimes Christians are refused employment or have to take basic humiliating work to earn a pittance because of their faith. Or their children are not allowed to go to school; the women may not use water from village wells and have to walk many miles to collect elsewhere. In some cases families are so terrorised that they move away, sometimes to another country and Open Doors helps where it can.

By their courage and faithful witness they are keeping our faith alive in the places where they live, but often at great cost.
