Purpose
Our purpose is to strengthen and equip Christians around the world who are facing persecution and discrimination because of their faith in Jesus Christ and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by:
Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development, and through intercessory prayer
Preparing the body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering
Educating and mobilizing the body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and be actively involved in assisting them
We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26).
All doors are open, and God enables His body to go into all the world and preach the gospel.
Mission statement

Statement of faith
Open Doors is an evangelical Christian ministry
Our Trinitarian faith is enshrined and expressed in the historic creed of the church:
We believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
born of the Virgin Mary;
suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell,
the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
from where He will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit;
the holy Christian Church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
