Over 360 million Christians live in areas of the world where they are persecuted because of their faith.
Bible distribution is key. Biblical Literacy is essential. Humanitarian Aid and Relief is critical. These believers need your support to stand strong.
When needs for which we can provide resource are identified we seek to respond as quickly as possible. Time can be critical.
Frontlines International sows GOD'S WORD among those people and churches under persecution to provide hope and light in the darkness of their trial.
Our road map for living is the Bible. Providing believers with God’s Word gives them hope!
Biblical training helps strengthen the faith of new believers through discipleship training and distribution of discipleship materials in their own language.
Severe opposition, harassment, and outright discrimination prevent believers from living life in freedom. We come alongside believers to provide help in such times.
Frontlines International works with qualified, indigenous pastors who have a heart for evangelism, a love for the Word of God, and a passion for the Great Commission.

How do you define persecution?
The biblical definition is “pursuit.” Satan pursues those who choose to follow Jesus and his pursuit and strategies to discourage take many forms. We focus our efforts on places of the world where Satan’s pursuit is most severe: • Places where persecution is violent, leading to injury or death or pressure that believers experience simply because they follow Jesus. • Places where persecution is a denial of basic needs like clean water, food, and shelter because of faith in Jesus or rejection from family and other loved ones. • Places where persecution occurs at the direction of governmental authorities, or radical religious idealogues, or any other group threatened by those who follow Jesus. Frontlines defines acts of persecution as used in the New Testament.
How does Frontlines International help persecuted Christians?
Frontlines responds as follows: Bible distribution is key. In areas of Christian repression Bibles are scarce. Providing believers with God’s Word gives them hope! Frontlines is committed to providing Bibles to believers where Bibles are forbidden and vey scarce. Biblical Literacy is essential. The spiritual vitality and theological integrity of local churches depends upon those in leadership. Where persecution occurs opportunities for theological education, training, and pastoral encouragement are few. Multi-year pastoral education and seminars designed to improve specific leadership skills is needed. In addition, the church community needs discipleship training in their own language. Humanitarian Aid and Relief is critical when they are without food and basic medicines. If these believers are to survive and remain a presence for Christ in communities that are hostile to them, they need our help. Advocacy on country level, where requested and needed, is a blessing to assist persecuted Christians. Sharing lessons learnt from the Persecuted Church is a gift to prepare the Body of Christ for discrimination and intolerance.

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE “I often watch events unfold globally and have the overwhelming feeling that there is nothing our church can do to make a difference. Then a good friend of mine connected me to an organization called Frontlines International, and with their help, our church no longer had that feeling of helplessness. Frontlines opened the avenue for us to serve the persecuted church worldwide when we didn’t know how.”

SERVING AND GROWING TOGETHER “Few acts of discipleship mature a follower of Christ quicker or more deeply than nurturing a love for our persecuted brethren. It demands an outward focus, a decrease of self, a love for God’s Word and a “this is war” mentality in a believer. As a Director of Missions and Pastor, I absolutely recommend forming and building a relationship with Frontlines International to help pastors and lay leaders grow in their personal walk with Christ, and deepening the understanding of their call to carry out His Great Commission.”
