Story

I'm choosing to lose my phone for 48 hours to help raise money and awareness for Christians who have lost everything because of their faith in Jesus.

Saser* (18) and Mihea* (22) from Laos had recently chosen to follow Jesus when their Christian faith was discovered. In the space of an afternoon, they lost their home and safety. People they used to call neighbours, along with the police, questioned and beat them. They were told to sign documents saying they would stop being Christian and return to the local tribal religion. But they refused. Eventually the villagers pushed them out of their house and evicted them from the area. The message was clear: if you choose Jesus, you're no longer safe here.

Please sponsor me as I give up something I love to help raise money for essential aid, support and help for young Christians like Saser and Mihea.

£20 = give Bibles to 5 believers.

£30 = send a Christian at risk of persecution from North Africa to youth camp.

£60 = school fees for a youth in Nigeria who's father has been killed for his faith.

£90 = train a Christian to understand the risk of being digitally spied on.
