Friends and Supporters,

As we approach the sacred season of Easter, we are reminded of the incredible sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ and the enduring hope His resurrection brings to believers worldwide. This hope is especially critical for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and elsewhere, who continue to face persecution and hardship for their unwavering faith.​

In Syria, the Christian community has endured immense challenges over the past decade. Once vibrant churches have dwindled, with many Christians fleeing the country and families displaced. Despite these trials, the faith of Syrian Christians remains steadfast. They continue to gather for worship, celebrate the resurrection of Christ, and serve as beacons of hope in a land scarred by conflict. Their resilience embodies the very essence of the Easter message—triumph over adversity and the promise of new life.​ 

Our Mission

At Endure International, our mission is to empower and sustain the persecuted church across the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and beyond. We are dedicated to establishing viable, Biblically-sound, and self-supporting churches in every major city within these regions. Through initiatives such as sharing the gospel via mass media, producing biblical programs for various platforms, providing medical care, training local leaders, and extending aid to refugees and disaster victims, we strive to stand in solidarity with those who suffer for their faith. ​ 

Show Your Support This Easter

The message of Easter compels us to act—to be the hands and feet of Christ in a world yearning for His love and peace. As we reflect on the resurrection, let us also remember our persecuted brethren who embody the spirit of enduring faith. This Easter, we invite you stand with us as we attempt to provide much-needed resources, encouragement, and hope to these communities.

Please consider partnering with us through prayer, financial support, or by spreading awareness about the plight of persecuted Christians. Let us stand together, united in the hope of the resurrection, and work towards a future where all believers can worship freely and without fear.​

May the hope and joy of Easter fill your hearts, and may we, as one body in Christ, continue to support and uplift our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.

In Christ’s Service,

Endure International
