Many people do not realize that in over 50 countries, Christians are being persecuted. In some countries, Christianity is restricted, and Christians are arrested. Some hate/extremists groups beat, threaten and have murdered believers in Jesus!

This is a crucial year in the fight to preserve religious freedom worldwide. Open Doors USA will be helping to lead the advocacy effort at the United Nations to prevent the Defamation of Religions resolution from passing through our Free to Believe Campaign. But we need your help. Please sign on to our petition to register your disapproval of the resolution. The campaign already has recieved an amazing response with over 2,600 signatures. But we need to keep the momentum going.
The Defamation of Religions Resolution seeks to criminalize words or actions as attacks against a particular religion. As incredible as it sounds, passing this resolution could allow a Christian to be persecuted under UN approval. We need you to voice your protest of this resolution.
The resolution protects a faith rather than individuals who hold a faith, which goes against the very purpose of human rights in international law. The result is that this resolution gives UN sanction to Muslim majority countries to persecute Christians and other religious minorities for not sharing the same beliefs as Muslims. It also provides legitimacy to these countries' blasphemy laws which are often used to accuse, imprison, and even murder Christians.
While Defamation of Religions Resolutions have been introduced and passed in previous years, it is up again this year for re-authorization. Policy experts at the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom believe we have a real opportunity to defeat it this year. Members of Congress and non-profit organizations will be organizing to urge countries to vote NO on Defamation of Religions Resolution.
We have offered this year's IDOP kit free of charge because we have a passionate commitment to praying for our brothers and sisters living under the heavy burden of persecution.
Be informed, inspired and united in prayer using the compelling tools and resources in this year's kit. Order your kit now>>

MY APOLOGIES! CLICK A BIBLE IS GOOD! WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID, IS THAT THAT THERE ARE ALSO OTHER WAYS TO DONATE BESIDES CLICK A BIBLE. CLICK A BIBLE IS RUN BY A VERY GOOD ORGANIZATION. PEOPLE THAT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PERSECUTED CHRISTIAN.AND THEY HAVE DONATED MANY, MANY BIBLES TO MANY CHRISTIANS WHO OTHER WISE WOULD NOT HAVE BIBLES. BUT I ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT THE UNKNOWN PASTORS WHO AREN'T REACHED BY THE LARGER ORGANIZATIONS. THEY ALSO NEED BIBLES AND PRAYER. SO I HOPE NOBODY GIVES UP ON CLICK A BIBLE BECAUSE THEY ARE A GOOD GROUP.
If you do not care about the third world ministers of poverty stricken countries, you don't about Christians nor do you care about Jesus! Read the New Testament and find that out for yourself. Click a bible doesn't help them at all. In fact, with click a bible you do not get to choose where your bible goes to, who gets it or what kind of bible you get. The reason I chose a desert motif is because that is where most persecuted Christians are and because that is where Jesus walked. What does blue and green symbolize? Someone who doesn't care about the persecuted Christian not the church builder, the desert traveler, the pastor who is unknown and uncared for accept for the few who know and see the great sacrifice and faithful service he has given. Most of these ministers are small when it comes to reputation, but they have the largest hearts of all. Americans are so very arrogant, thinking they are the only ones that matter. If you can not support the little known church builders in third world countries, you are not supporting persecuted Christians, and if you can not support the persecuted Christians, you are not supporting Jesus!
