Open Doors USA

The mission statement of Open Doors USA is "Serving persecuted Christians worldwide," and they have been doing that since 1952.

"[A]ccording to the United States Department of State, Christians in more than 60 countries face persecution from their governments or surrounding neighbors simply because of their belief in Jesus Christ."

On average around the world, there are 772 cases of violence against Christians each month. They could include beating, discrimination at work or school, rape, torture, imprisonment, death, and more. An average of 214 Christian properties (including churches) are destroyed, and 322 Christians are killed.
