Open Doors - A Worthy Charity.

.

You’ve shown your love for the persecuted church with support in the past. Thank you so much. Today, can I ask you to help Christians in India as they face two crises?  For believers like Vinita*, the pandemic is only half the story. She is also the target of violent attacks, discrimination and rejection – all because she chooses to follow Jesus. Covid-19 has made this situation even harder.  “When quarantine started, our work came to a standstill,” says Vinita. “We had no money and no food.”  Christians are often most vulnerable to the impact of Covid-19 restrictions, because of poverty and discrimination. Without your help, I fear the situation will become worse.  A gift today of £60 could give urgent Covid relief aid and help with medical costs to a victim of violence or a believer who has lost their livelihood through the pandemic.  The Indian church is also calling for Open Doors globally to sound the alarm on how anti-Christian propaganda is being used to stir up violence against Christians. You can raise awareness by inviting your MP to a 1 July briefing on Open Doors’ new report about India’s religious minorities: Destructive Lies.  Invite my MP Thank you for standing with your Indian brothers and sisters in crisis. Your gift, prayers and action will help bring much-needed hope and comfort. Henrietta Blyth CEO, Open Doors UK & Ireland
