    The Open Doors podcast has supplemented my own faith with a degree of humility I wouldn’t have accessed apart from the connection to the persecuted Church. They are wonderful at connecting the western body of Christ to the persecuted body of Christ. Listen and be blessed.

  • Fantastic podcast. Open Doors is committed both to supporting the persecuted church and to sharing their stories for our encouragement. Mike Gore and the team bring lessons both from faithful believers on the frontline and from their own lives. They share with vunerable honesty and a desire to learn as well.

    I have learnt so much from stories of faith through Open Doors. I have wept and prayed for our sisters and brothers who share our faith, but not our freedom. Highly recommended.
