Fundraise for Voice of Persecuted Christians
Your fundraising can bring strength, support and hope to Christians living under pressure for their faith. Across the world, believers face isolation, discrimination and violence. Through your efforts they are supported, encouraged and remembered.
When a UK church or supporter raises money for believers under pressure, the body of Christ is doing what it was made to do. Voice of Persecuted Christians carries the need from the field to you. Your fundraising answers that call.
Whether you are a small church with a simple idea, a larger congregation planning a campaign or an individual taking on a challenge, this guide will help you take the next step with clarity and confidence.
Why your fundraising helps
In many countries, following Jesus comes with real cost. Families are displaced, churches are restricted and leaders are targeted. Voice of Persecuted Christians works through trusted local partners to respond where the need is greatest.
Your fundraising becomes part of that response. It helps provide emergency relief in times of crisis, equips church leaders to remain strong and makes sure that Bibles and Christian materials reach those who would otherwise go without. It also supports long-term ministry, strengthening communities to grow in faith despite ongoing pressure.
Every fundraiser contributes to a wider story of resilience, courage and enduring faith.

Stories from our fundraisers
Supporters across the UK have turned a simple idea into real support for persecuted believers. Their stories show what is possible when conviction meets action.
Our church coffee morning began as a small idea over a kitchen table. By the time we cleared the cups, we had heard the stories of believers in Eritrea and given more than we ever expected.
I walked twenty-five miles for the persecuted Church. Every mile reminded me that brothers and sisters elsewhere walk much further, and often at far greater cost.
Our youth group put on a worship night to fundraise. It became a turning point. They learned to pray for the persecuted Church as if it were their own family. Because it is.
