How Your Giving Helps
Giving is not only a transaction. In Christ, it is an act of fellowship. When you give to support persecuted Christians, you are helping the church remember those who suffer for the name of Jesus and stand with them in practical love.
This page offers a clear summary of how funds are used across Voice of Persecuted Christians’s work: supporting international ministry, strengthening UK ministry, and sustaining the operational support that makes both possible. It is designed to show, plainly and openly, how your giving helps.
At a glance
The chart here gives a simple overview of how income is used across Voice of Persecuted Christian’s work.
Our international ministry gives tools to our overseas partners to help our brother & sisters facing persecution and the effects of persecution. It also funds our ministry of presence to these partners where our team visits to encourage, support, pray with, to teach, and to report on progress.
Our UK ministry allows us to bring the Voice of Persecuted Christians into churches in the UK. We teach biblical principles around persecution and help the UK church learn lessons of discipleship from our persecuted Brothers & Sisters.
We aim to keep our operational costs as low as possible, to ensure as much as possible, of the funds we receive go towards our core mission both in the UK and overseas. Our operational costs cover our leadership team, finance team and tech team as well as our premises costs, all essential and valuable parts to our ministry.
Behind every percentage are real churches, real needs, and real acts of service. Some support reaches believers and families through trusted partners overseas. Some helps the church in the UK hear the voice of persecuted Christians and respond in prayer, fellowship, and practical support. Some enables the staffing, governance, systems, and stewardship needed to serve with consistency and integrity.

International Ministry
Strengthening the persecuted church
International ministry helps bring practical, pastoral, and spiritual support to believers facing hostility, violence, imprisonment, displacement, and loss. Through trusted partners, your giving may help strengthen families, support local churches, encourage prisoners’ relatives, equip Christian leaders, and help believers remain faithful where the cost of following Christ is high.
These are not abstract outcomes. They are expressions of the church’s love for its suffering family.
Helping women stand firm in faith and daily life
In Pakistan, long-term support has helped Christian women meet in local groups for prayer, Bible study, mutual support, saving, and practical learning. Over time, this work has grown into a network of 463 groups, reaching more than 6,000 direct beneficiaries and strengthening many more family members indirectly.
Women describe greater financial resilience, stronger confidence, deeper faith, healthier family relationships, and more active involvement in church life. Some have started small businesses, improved household stability, and gained practical knowledge that helps them care for their children and face daily pressures with greater strength.
Recent quotes from Pakistan projects
Now I have a separate savings box for each of my children! And with two parents working instead of one it has increased our finances, we can send our children to school, and we make decisions together. I also guide others on how to save and how that brings benefits in life
Because of joining the group, I learned to pray for my family, and while here, my life in God has become stronger and I have learned to face circumstances.
I see revival. The facilitators do really hard work. Now many women attend church on a regular basis.
Sustained support
With most funding supporting frontline facilitators and transport, this is one example of how sustained giving can produce practical and spiritual fruit over many years.

UK Ministry
Helping the church hear, remember, and respond
In the UK, your giving helps churches and individuals hear the voice of persecuted Christians and respond in prayer, fellowship, and practical support. For many believers, a church visit, a magazine, a radio interview, or an email update is their first real introduction to the persecuted church.
This work helps turn awareness into action. It enables the church in the UK not only to know that persecution is happening, but to remember suffering believers as family, pray for them earnestly, and stand with them in love.

We are also in contact with tens of thousands of engaged Christians by email, many of them committed prayer supporters. Through church speaking, publications, events, digital content, radio, and supporter communications, the UK church is drawn into deeper fellowship with believers who suffer for Christ around the world.
Often, this is where remembrance begins: a church hears, a prayer group responds, a family starts to pray, a supporter chooses to give, and suffering believers are no longer unknown.
What giving looks like in practice
Giving helps support more than one kind of ministry. It may help a local believer receive practical encouragement through an overseas project. It may help a church in the UK hear a testimony that awakens prayer. It may help resources reach homes, churches, small groups, and prayer gatherings.
In every case, the aim is the same: to strengthen fellowship with the persecuted church and to serve suffering believers in practical, faithful ways.
Examples of what giving can help make possible
- Support for local projects serving persecuted Christians and their families
- Prayer and Bible-based groups that strengthen believers facing pressure
- Practical help that improves resilience, dignity, and daily stability
- Church visits, events, and media speaking in the UK
- Magazines, books, testimonies, and prayer resources for churches and supporters
- Communication that helps tens of thousands of Christians stay informed and engaged
Why operational support matters
Operational support helps make ministry possible. It provides the staffing, safeguarding, financial oversight, communications, governance, and systems needed to support persecuted Christians responsibly and consistently.
These costs are not separate from the mission. They help ensure that gifts are stewarded carefully, partnerships are maintained wisely, and support reaches where it is needed with diligence, accountability, and integrity.
Openness matters, because faithful stewardship matters
One body, sharing one another’s burdens
Giving to Voice of Persecuted Christians is one way the church lives as one body. When believers in one place suffer, believers elsewhere are called to remember, pray, and share what they have.
Your giving helps express that unity in practical form: supporting suffering Christians, strengthening the church’s witness, equipping prayer and fellowship, and reminding persecuted believers that they are not forgotten.
This is more than charity. It is Christian fellowship made visible.
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
