Summary

SummaryI’m Ko Aung, an Open Doors partner from Myanmar. Since the coup, digital surveillance has become my greatest threat: my banking blocked, my NRC flagged, cameras everywhere watching. I’ve hidden my location, endured sleepless, fearful nights, and watched my health decline under constant stress. Yet, through it all, I’ve continued to share rice, oil, salt, medicine, Bibles, and hope with persecuted Christians. My heart burns with a dream: when freedom returns, I will go back home to stand by my brothers and sisters in Christ.

To follow Jesus in Myanmar is to live with constant risk. There’s the potential for pressure from the majority-Buddhist population, where some Buddhist extremists can persecute Christians. Christians also have fewer rights than Buddhists in Myanmar, and Christian converts can face pressure and shunning from their communities when they leave the religion of their community. Ko Aung* is an Open Doors partner from Myanmarβ€”and he’s seen the persecution firsthand.

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.
