Open, Legal Persecution of Christians

Sep 30, 2025

You Have Hope to Give

The Middle East is, as you know, one of the most hostile hotspots for persecution of believers.

International Christian Concern reports: “Several nations in the Middle East openly and legally condone the discrimination and persecution of Christians within their borders ... [who] are often left with two choices: leave their homes or learn to live as targets of intolerance.”

A woman in Yemen, whose Christian friend was shot in the street, told Open Doors:

“We are afraid of the extremists, spies and the government itself … they all work together against Christians. This reality discourages us a lot of times, especially that we can’t go out with boldness to tell others about Jesus. We are very careful in all our meetings and conversations. I know that sometimes when I enter a house, I might not come back out... They could take you to the extremists, or the police station, and that is where the interrogation starts. They could even issue my death sentence... I cannot carry the Bible with me. They can search me at any checkpoint on the way, so I try to memorise as much as I can before my visits.”

Until there is no more suffering, no more discrimination, no more hate — you and I have hope to give.
