What if you faced arrest, imprisonment and torture for sharing your faith, for owning a Bible, or for going to church with your family? Because we live in a land blessed with religious freedom, these scenarios seem unthinkable! But they are a daily reality for believers in regions of the world where the gospel is not welcome.
As we partner with churches around the world, we see the overwhelming financial strain on the families of pastors who have been imprisoned. While in prison, it is nearly impossible for the rest of the family to provide for themselves. Often, the jailed pastor's spouse carries on the ministry with no income. Pastors and church planters in prison have often told us that while enduring prison is very difficult, even more distressing is the worry over their families' survival. WorldServe has created a special fund focused on this cause. The local church leaders administer this to provide food, housing, and sometimes travel expenses if the family must go underground. This fund also helps to care for the pastors and church planters after they are released, as many require medical attention and must recover from injuries sustained while in prison.
We ask for your support in helping those who are imprisoned, beaten, and endure separation from their loved ones. These brothers and sisters thank God for the loving prayers and financial support provided for them and their families during this trial.
"...you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you."- 3 John 5
How Do Funds Provide Spiritual Benefits?
- The Gospel is preached with greater boldness.
- God's care in action provides some peace of mind if they must face a prison term.
- Endurance & encouragement.
Whether by sending financial support or helping with physical needs, we want to come alongside these faithful leaders with practical assistance. When we do, we not only impact their lives and communities, but we are also Advancing the Gospel and Impacting the Nations!
