Summary

Summaryβ€œI’m Ezana, and alongside my twin brother Fasil, we grew up in a village in Ethiopia where following Jesus meant facing hostility. Yet, our school became a beacon of hope πŸŽ“βœ¨. Every day we learned not just lessons from books, but lessons of compassion and courage. Even when neighbors frowned or threats arose, our teachers taught us to love as Christ loves. Together, we helped plant gardens, shared meals with those who once shunned us, and prayed for hearts to soften ❀️🌱. By God’s grace, walls of fear crumbled, and little by little, our community began to embrace us. This journey taught us that faith isn’t just wordsβ€”it’s action, kindness, and unwavering hope in Christ’s transforming power πŸ™Œ.”

Ezana and Fasil are twin boys from a beautiful village in Ethiopia. It looks like a wonderful place to grow up. But the village has long been an unwelcome place for followers of Jesus. And the twins’ family and community know this firsthand, but that hasn’t stopped them from finding a way to show love to their community despite the persecution they face.

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.
