Christian Persecution: Answer the Call to Help Persecuted Christians: Support Refugee Families and Rebuild Lives with Hope and Dignity!
The Avoda Foundation recognizes the unique challenges faced by Christian refugees who have fled Myanmar due to religious persecution. While Myanmar officially guarantees freedom of religion, many Christians, particularly those who openly practice or share their faith, experience severe persecution. This includes imprisonment, torture, and even death. As a result, Christian refugees are often left without any support and live in fear of further harm.
Avoda’s Christian Aid Program focuses on providing special support to Christian refugees in need. This program is designed to address their specific needs by offering food aid, shelter, education, legal assistance, and vocational training. Additionally, we offer spiritual and emotional support to help them navigate the trauma of persecution.
We understand the Bible’s command to “pay special attention to fellow Christians” (Galatians 6:10), and therefore, our Christian Aid budget is dedicated to providing support from Christian donors who specifically wish to assist their fellow believers in need. Through this program, we can offer Christian refugees a chance to rebuild their lives with dignity, security, and a renewed sense of hope in Christ.
