Your year end donation will strengthen the persecuted church

Your Impact in Fiscal Year 2024

First, we want to say thank you to our faithful readers. This year, Global Christian Relief served over 2.2 million vulnerable people around the globe as they encountered threats, violence, and discrimination because of their faith in Christ. Your prayers and generous support have accomplished so much for God’s kingdom, sustaining our persecuted family as they work to advance the Great Commission in some of the most dangerous places on Earth.

Yet the needs of our persecuted family continue to grow day-by-day, as persecution skyrockets to the highest levels ever in recorded history. That’s why we invite you to make a year end donation before time runs out.

Take Your Year End Donation Further with a $250,000 Challenge Grant

Right now, we have several critical projects for the persecuted church that are in need of funding before 2024 comes to a conclusion:

• Distributing God’s Word in places where Bibles are desperately needed, including Nigeria—the most deadly nation for Christians—as well as Chad, the Middle East and more.
• Supporting impoverished Christian women with income-generating projects and small business stipends in nations like Hindu-majority India, where religious discrimination against believers keeps them from securing reputable jobs and fair pay.
• Providing Christian leadership and discipleship training for at-risk believers who are growing and nurturing the underground church in countries that suppress the gospel, such as China.

Fortunately, generous partners of Global Christian Relief have come forward with an incredible, $250,000 year-end Challenge Grant to encourage you to be as generous as possible with your year end donation at this critical time. That means every dollar you give will double in impact—up to $250,000—but only if you give by Midnight on December 31.

Now is the perfect time to make your year end donation to support suffering believers living in the most difficult places to follow Jesus. Any amount you give by the end of the year will go twice as far to help our brothers and sisters stand strong and continue to make disciples for Christ, even in the toughest circumstances. Thank you for generosity, and may God bless you in the New Year for your continued partnership in support of the global persecuted church!

A Year End Prayer for Believers

As 2024 comes to an end, we invite you to pray for believers around the world who suffer for their faith.

God, thank You for bringing the Body of Christ together over the course of 2024 in support of our persecuted brothers and sisters. We thank You for inspiring us through their resilience and determination to worship You, no matter the cost. As we acknowledge that global persecution is growing, please move our hearts to be generous in 2025, sharing what we have with those who have so little. We remember the words of Hebrews 13:16: “And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.” Continue to bless those suffering in the name of Jesus Christ, that they might be strengthened to run their race with endurance despite incredible opposition to the gospel. When challenges and obstacles feel overwhelming, may they be reminded that the global church has not forgotten them in their need. Amen.
