Before the Apostle Paul’s dramatic encounter with Jesus Christ on the Damascus Road, he went by the name Saul and ruthlessly persecuted Christians. “He made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison” (Acts 8:3). Millions of Christians worldwide endure violence and hatred because they follow the Saviour. Your £30 gift helps us encourage our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ with support such as food, housing, medical care, and vocational training. We want them to know that God has not forgotten them and will reward their perseverance in the faith. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).
