As we step into a new year, we’re reminded that much of the work we do to serve persecuted believers in Asia happens quietly and often goes unseen.

In fact, many urgent needs we meet never get reported due to the surrounding dangers—but every so often, we’re able to share a glimpse into what believers are facing and how timely help can make a difference.

This video captures one such moment from India recently, where 11 new Christian believers narrowly escaped being burned alive when extremists set their homes on fire as they slept, leaving everything they owned in ashes.

What you’ll see is the aftermath of that terror—the destruction, the loss, and the courage of families now displaced and still at risk because of their faith.

As you watch, we invite you to prayerfully consider standing with believers like these. If you feel led to help meet urgent needs as they arise throughout the year, you can give to our Persecution & Relief Fund, which allows us to respond immediately when crisis strikes.

We are currently helping these believers with basic shelter and essential living supplies, providing life-sustaining support as they recover from this devastating loss, and ongoing threats to their safety.
