Persecuted Pastors Program
We stand with them.
Beaten for their faith. Imprisoned for praying. Their families left to carry the cost. WIN stands beside persecuted pastors with practical care, Bible training, and a community that refuses to forget them.
Reported by WIN’s regional offices in the campaign report.
Care for persecuted pastors and their families, and equip them to keep sharing the Gospel.
The people behind the numbers
These are accounts from pastors WIN stands beside. Their names and locations are withheld to protect them and their families.
“No, my son. Lift the Bible, not a gun. Only God can set us free.”
A pastor had been threatened with death, beaten, and jailed after attending a prayer meeting. His young son pleaded, “Papa, buy me a gun. I’ll free you.”
His father answered with faith. He eventually came home—and went back to preaching.
A pastor serving Communion was arrested after a gathering was filmed. He spent five months in jail.
Another pastor spent ten months in jail after singing worship songs. Following Jesus had cost him his freedom.
Faith expressed through care
When persecution comes, WIN’s local leaders help identify the needs and stay beside the family through imprisonment, recovery, and the return to ministry.
Contributing toward bail and legal defense, and helping families navigate the crisis when a pastor is arrested.
Groceries and practical support for wives and children when the family’s breadwinner is behind bars.
Helping injured leaders access medical treatment and supporting families as they recover.
Prayer, encouragement, and training that help pastors return to their calling and reach more communities.
Four days together
Once a year, we gather regional pastors in a remote, undisclosed location. For some, these four days may be their only opportunity all year for Bible training and time with fellow pastors who understand what they have endured.
They return equipped to take the Gospel to villages where people have never heard the name of Jesus.
Your support becomes practical care
Your gift helps WIN care for persecuted leaders and their families, and equip them to keep sharing the Gospel. Monthly support helps us educate, feed, equip, mobilize, and care for these leaders throughout the year.
