Discover the top 50 countries where it's most difficult and dangerous to follow Jesus.
Welcome, church friends!
Nothing affects the world as much as when followers of Jesus come together in prayer, asking God to support, encourage and strengthen His church. This is why the Church Mobilization Team seeks to connect the church body in America to their persecuted family around the world.
We want to serve local congregations by encouraging and equipping them to pray, engage, and partner with believers who share our faith but not our freedom. Check out the resources below for use in your small group, Sunday school class, prayer group, staff meeting or worship gathering.
