The Ultimate Act of Christian Love   Trouble viewing images? view the web version   Dear Friend of the Persecuted , You can do something to help Christians caught in battles throughout the Middle East. In of the book, Which None Can Shut by Reema Goode, Brother Andrew presents a challenge. He writes, “Why is it that we see their stories as so different from ours? They were all born as innocent babies, not as terrorists. Many were born in countries where the message of God’s love was not known. Does that mean they should not have a chance to hear it?” And how will they hear? Often, God sends their Christian neighbors, co-workers and people in leadership like Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian brother and former Minority Affairs Minister in Pakistan. Help Support Persecuted Christians On March 2nd Bhatti was killed by Muslims because he was working for the religious freedom of all Pakistanis. His death was the ultimate demonstration of Christian love… loving those who persecuted him. This is a fundamental challenge we face in our work – loving those who hate and want to destroy us, just like Jesus loved those who abused and killed him. Surrounded by extreme hostility, many Christians like Bhatti continue to persevere… to go and tell others about the peace and love of our blessed Redeemer. Open Doors is committed to ensuring they go equipped.   Your gift is vital for Open Doors to strengthen persecuted Christians with the power of God’s Word, spiritual and leadership training, prayer, advocacy support and basic emergency supplies. Please join me in praying for bold believers like Bhatti and equipping Christians who choose to love God and others... in spite of the price they pay.
