Hosting a quiz night is a simple but powerful way to spread awareness about the persecution facing over 365 million Christians worldwide, while also helping to raise vital aid that goes towards supporting and equipping our brothers and sisters, enabling them to stand strong in the face of persecution.

Funds raised will go towards helping believers in the countries that face the most extreme persecution.

Ji Ho* vividly remembers the moment she saw her father for the last time. North Korean security agents had ransacked their house – and dragged him away when they found his ‘secret book’ buried in the garden. “My father and I both sobbed,” she remembers.

There has been a growing shortage of food in North Korea, with thousands at risk of starvation. Many fear a return of the 1990s famine. The crisis has been so severe that the authorities began a mobilisation campaign to get people farming – but many have avoided participation, because food isn’t provided.

However, even as believers experience their own shortage of food, people like Ji Ho have been selflessly helping others. “As I continued to learn more about Jesus, I also found that my life was changing in other ways,” says Ji Ho. “I was still hungry, but I started to share my food. I knew I could give up some of my food to my neighbours who didn’t have a garden. I hoped this might show them in some way that Jesus loved them.”

Through secret networks outside the country, Open Doors secret workers are helping around 100,000 North Korean believers by providing vital food and aid, shelter and discipleship training for North Korean refugees at safe houses in China, and training through radio broadcasting from outside the country.

Every £46 raised could give a Christian family in a country like North Korea a vital food package.
