Support a Safe House for Persecuted Christians Dear Friend in Christ,   "For the first time, I can pray without fear."   That's what Dalal said after fleeing her abusive husband in Lebanon — a man who persecuted her for following Jesus. With a sick daughter and nowhere to go, she connected with our team at Help The Persecuted, who welcomed her with open arms into one of our safe houses.    She's not alone. Right now, Christians are being beaten, imprisoned, and threatened with death across the Islamic World — not for committing a crime, but for following Jesus.   When they are on the run with nowhere to go, Help The Persecuted is there. We rescue, restore, and rebuild the lives of persecuted believers across 16 countries. We have 21 safe houses in strategic locations — hidden apartments where Christians fleeing violence find safety, food, medicine, discipleship, and a path forward. Our largest refuge, The Haven in Lebanon, shelters 40 believers who fled the war in Syria. Khalil fled Syria with his family after war and persecution destroyed everything:   “After witnessing unspeakable horrors in Syria, I arrived broken in Lebanon. Stepping into The Haven, I found more than a shelter; I found belonging.”   Soroush booked a midnight flight out of Iran with his wife and daughter the night they realized their lives were in danger:   "In the midst of fear and uncertainty, your safe house gave us a safe environment where we could stay for a time."   Maher was declared legally dead by his own family in Iraq because of his conversion to Christianity. They seized everything he owned. He arrived at our safe house in complete despair:   "I had reached a point of complete despair and loss of direction until you appeared in my path. For you I truly, truly thank the Lord." Support a Safe House for Persecuted Christians Inside every safe house, our Field Ministers and Pastoral Care Teams provide holistic, wrap-around care: Groceries Medical support Trauma counseling Bible study One-on-one discipleship. Today, persecution is increasing as violence gets more extreme. But through your support, these courageous Christians can have life-saving refuge when they need it most.
