“Serving Persecuted – Loving Persecutors”
As Jesus’s followers, our primary focus is to embody the love of God with our fellow citizens. Although it’s true that Christians are burned, beaten, tortured, persecuted, denied promotions and side lined by the society at large, Jesus has taught us that, “Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God”.God is a peace-loving God and a peace-making God. God’s children should have the character of their Father. Christians are called to be a peculiar people, with the mind of Christ – a people of light, who respect, love and pray for their persecutors.

We must pray for the persecutors and love them openly. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” Eph. 6: 12
Persecution Relief also encourages Churches to shed the “Enemy image” we have of those who Persecute us (Political Leaders / Political Parties / Individuals / Terrorist Groups/ Fanatic Religious groups).We do not promote or encourage Church Leaders or Pastors in lodging an FIR against the Persecutors. Our model is Jesus Christ, who has commanded us to forgive our transgressors.
“Persecutors” of every case that have been recorded by us, are identified, and a team of Prayer Warriors regularly pray for them, so that many Saul’s may be transformed to Paul. We also educate the Church to forgive the Persecutors just as Jesus taught us
