​Help the Persecuted.  "In places hostile to the Gospel across the Muslim world, persecution of Christians grows. God’s beloved children are demeaned, abused, unable to earn a living, and even murdered for their faith. When God commands us to rescue our suffering brothers and sisters, this is who He is talking about! Our “marching orders” are clear." HTP exists to share in the burdens of fellow believers, to encourage and bolster the faith of believers while taking every opportunity to share the Gospel with the lost, and to see the Church flourish in hostile places.

​You can help by giving financially, by joining their network of prayer partners, and by staying connected through their newsletter.
