In many countries around the world Christians face detention and torture, simply for following Jesus Christ.In countries such as Burma, China, Eritrea, North Korea, Pakistan and Vietnam, Christian pastors, evangelists and other believers are in prison today because of their active Christian witness.Release’s Prisoners of Faith
ministry gives pastoral care and practical support to Christians imprisoned for their faith in Jesus Christ, and their families. We encourage supporters in the UK and Ireland to pray for prisoners, write letters of encouragement, campaign for their release, and give financially to support this vital work.
