About us

Friends of the Martyred Church is a registered non-profit organization founded in 1982 in Finland. Our mission is to support and help persecuted Christians. Today approximately 200 million Christians are persecuted because of their faith in Jesus. We help and support them regardless of denomination, social status, race, or sex, by:

  • gathering and distributing information about persecuted Christians,
  • encourage churches and individuals to pray for up-to-date prayer topics,
  • financially, materially and otherwise support Christians who suffer because of their faith.

Through different projects (eg. medical assistance, building projects or other material aid) we also help non-Christians that because of war, natural disasters or other crises have run into problems.

Donations are used according to the donor's wishes.
