Across the globe there are families in the midst of suffering raising children in the way of the Lord. Their testimony is a powerful contribution to sustaining the Body of Christ in the Islamic World. Meanwhile in the West, we have an opportunity to join with our own family and intercede on their behalf. Use your freedom to make an impact.

How to Educate Your Family about the Worldwide Church

Feature a Country
Each month, pick a country where persecution exists and feature it in your home. Check out books from your library on that country. Research the number of Christians living there and what they endure. Serve food from that culture. Write a letter to an imprisoned Christian. Color the country flag and find it on a globe. Collect all your spare change and donate it to that country to purchase Bibles or other helps. Each night at dinner, pray specifically for Christians living in that country.

Pray Effectively
Request a copy of the Prayer Force Alert from Open Doors. This monthly prayer guide tells you how to pray each day for the persecuted Church, sharing specific country requests from all over the world. Incorporate these prayer needs into your family prayer time.

Pass It On
Read Secret Believers with your teenage child, or buy a copy of the book for other family members. By sharing the book, you will tell the story of Muslim converts to Christianity and what they face each day as Christians in the Islamic world. A significant portion of the cost of each book will go directly to help persecuted Christians. The book contains actual stories of real people living this day in hiding because of Christ.
