WHY OPEN DOORS?

In Christ, we strengthen the most persecuted. We connect the Australian and New Zealand Church with their persecuted family to deepen one another’s discipleship journey. When you work with us, you’ll get the chance to strengthen the faith of persecuted Christians, even in the most dangerous places.

We asked our people their thoughts on working with Open Doors and here’s what they had to say:

• “Working for Open Doors means being challenged and encouraged in your faith every day! It’s a privilege to be in a job that helps strengthen the global body of Christ.”
• “Seeing and hearing real stories of persecution has forced me to see my walk with Christ in a new way.”
• “It is such a joy to know that I’m using the gifts that God has given me to help serve those who need to be served.”

Working with us also provides the opportunity to be a part of regular team devotions, access to Christian counselling and mentoring, as well as coming together for bi-annual team days for fellowship, prayer, and worship.

OUR IMPACT

Last year, our work at Open Doors helped 9,553,640 persecuted Christians across the globe, providing:

• 542,813 people with advocacy,
• 5,766,757 people with biblical training,
• 2,531,985 people with Bibles and Christian literature,
• 176,405 people with emergency relief, and
• 535,680 people with socio-economic support.

As a growing and respected ministry that supports persecuted Christians in more than 70 countries, we are the leading voice on Christian persecution and trusted partner to build a mature and unified global Church. We’re excited to hire someone who shares the same ideals by connecting with like-minded people, partners, and communities.
