You can help persecuted Christians stand strong – just by putting pen to paper! Your letters can bring deeply needed encouragement to imprisoned and persecuted Christians, and they provide an impressive witness of God's love to those around the person you write to.

Some recipients of cards and letters have said:
"The letters and postcards we've received are so numerous and lovely! My little daughter always asks me: 'Why do they write so much to Daddy?'"

"I felt lonely and disturbed when ... attacked. I saw almost no reason for living. When multitudes of cards containing encouraging messages were given to us, I began to see life in a different way. I felt recognised in the big family of Jesus Christ. To be candid, those who took time to write to me succeeded in turning my life around."

"This is exactly what the Lord Jesus enjoined us as believers to do; to cry with those who cry and rejoice with those who are rejoicing. That is what these people did for us. Please let them know that their prayers have been answered. We are comforted, we are appreciative of their beautiful letters. To God be the glory!”
