Help kids change the world through prayer
Your children already know they're part of a family. Open Doors helps them discover how big that family really is.
Right now, children their age in Afghanistan are memorizing Scripture in secret. Kids in Somalia whisper prayers they can't say out loud. Young believers in Eritrea walk miles to meet with the church—knowing the risk, choosing to go anyway.
These aren't distant strangers. They're brothers and sisters. And your children can pray for them by name.

Why teach kids about Christian persecution?
"When one part of the body suffers, every part suffers with it." — 1 Corinthians 12:26
Most children in America have never had to choose between their faith and their safety. That freedom is a gift—but it can quietly become a wall between your family and the rest of the global church.
Open Doors kids resources open a door in that wall. When your children hear about young believers like Moryom—who faces bullying at school every day for following Jesus—something changes in them. Their prayers grow more specific. Their faith grows more real. They begin to understand they belong to something far bigger than their neighborhood church.
This isn't about burdening children with suffering they can't process. It's about showing them courage they can't ignore—and giving them a way to respond.
