Stand with the Persecuted Church

You can help them with your gift to this year’s FMI offering at Connection 2024!
Partner with FMI to Support Courageous Christians
In the face of adversity, persecution, and unimaginable challenges, the global body of Christ stands as a beacon of courage, boldness, and unwavering generosity. Every day, countless Christians around the world face persecution for their faith. Many of these believers are in the least reached corners of the globe. Yet, despite the risks, they continue to stand firm in their faith, spreading the message of hope and love amidst turmoil and oppression.
Every year, the FMI Connection Offering focuses on the unreached and under-reached people groups around the world, and this year’s offering will have a special emphasis on persecuted believers who live among and near the unreached. Our goal is to raise $130,000 to support persecuted Christians worldwide. We are encouraging each church to bring a gift of $250 or more, knowing that together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those facing persecution for their faith.
Your compassionate generosity will provide discipleship + leadership training opportunities, essential resources and practical support to persecuted communities, offering hope in the midst of darkness.
When he saw the crowds he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36 (NIV)
