We serve Christians around the world whose brave faith in Jesus means they are, beaten, threatened, imprisoned, tortured, falsely accused, disowned and hated.

    What You'll Do…

    Being an Open Doors Youth Rep is really flexible. It could mean doing any, some or all of the following, and more…

    Working with your youth leader/teacher to host a session or have a slot in your youth group or CU about the persecuted church.

    Committing to a fundraising activity, like Choose to Lose, holding a World Watch List Quiz Night in your church or something else, like a sponsored bike ride or bake sale. You'll be raising vital funds and awareness for your persecuted family!

    Organising a special Secret Church event with your youth leader to help your group or church experience some of what it's like to gather and worship as secret Christians.
