Christians in Manipur are facing a crisis after an outbreak of ethno-religious violence in May. The damage is extensive—more than 100 people have died, 350-plus churches have been destroyed and more than 30,000 believers are displaced from their homes, forced to flee to neighboring states or into makeshift shelters.
“Many churches were burned in front of us, and it has been very difficult to see this unfold before us,” says Viren (name changed), a local Christian caught up in the violence. “We want to be strong. Pray that God helps us.”
Your gifts and prayers are desperately needed in this crisis. Open Doors’ partners are providing urgent aid, including food and relief packs, to those left with nothing, and will continue to help as the communities recover—with your help.
Today, will you help your Indian brothers and sisters as they begin to rebuild?
Every HK$170 could provide emergency food and aid for a believer in India affected by violent persecution
Every HK$500 could help provide shelter for a believer displaced by violent persecution
Thank you for standing with your brothers and sisters in prayer. Your prayers help them know they aren’t alone—and that they have a global family in the church.
