In the Islamic World, when someone becomes a Christian, the results can be devastating. They are sometimes disowned, disinherited, and abandoned. Many lose their jobs, unable to provide for their families. Children go hungry.
The danger is even greater during Holy Week, especially Easter Sunday.
Right now,
- Christians in Syria are facing unprecedented uncertainty and fear
- Churches in Iran are meeting in secret, afraid of government detection
- Refugees from Afghanistan have lost everything and are hiding in neighboring countries
No persecuted Christian should have to bear burdens like these alone.
Together, we can help them. We can meet their basic needs when they have lost everything all because they believe in Jesus Christ. Our on-the-ground teams are standing ready to prepare Emergency Relief Kits, which provide a full month of dry food goods for families who have lost everything.
Here’s what’s in an Emergency Relief Kit:
A month of essential nutrition for a family of four:
- Rice
- Cooking Oil
- Flour
- Tea
- Sugar
Dignity-restoring items:
- Personal hygiene products
- Blankets and seasonal necessities
- Reading materials for children and adults
Spiritual Discipleship Items like
- Bibles
- Christian books
- Christian coloring books for children

But, this Easter, we need your help to assemble these Emergency Relief Kits—and hand deliver each one.
Our team preparing and getting ready to hand-deliver hundreds of Emergency Relief Kits!
Last year, we delivered over 10,000 Emergency Relief Kits across multiple Islamic countries like Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Pakistan. Since the beginning of Help The Persecuted in 2018, over 300,000 persecuted believers have been directly helped.
After being persecuted in the midst of a warzone, we were able to provide Anwar with an Emergency Relief Kit. In response, he said, "The Emergency Relief Kit you have given us is such an incredible support this month!"

Sometimes the persecuted church can seem far away and distant, and we don’t know how to help. But this is a tangible action you can take to show a persecuted Christian that they matter.
Real Stories, Real Change

When Pastor Amir baptized Omar, it began with a simple act of kindness. In the midst of economic devastation, someone cared enough to bring essential supplies to his door—an Emergency Relief Kit from Help The Persecuted. That human connection sparked a transformation that changed his entire life.
Imagine what might happen in another person’s life—because you provided an Emergency Relief Kit to them.
