Summary

SummaryI was only 20 when I was arrested by the intelligence service and thrown into solitary confinement for 22 days. In that cold cell, I felt God speak: β€˜It’s not about you; it’s about Me.’ Looking around at men broken by crime and suffering, I realized He’d placed me here to share the Gospel behind these walls. One day, an imamβ€”previously an unlikely friendβ€”offered to print portions of the Bible in English, claiming it was for an English lesson so the guards wouldn’t notice. With trembling hands, I received those pages and began evangelizing fellow prisoners. Now I pray not only for freedom, but that God uses imprisoned saints for His Kingdom, shining light where no one else can.

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
