I believe that Freedom of religion and belief is a fundamental human right. As a Christian you can find freedom in Christ from your past sins and spiritual strongholds. God will meet you and continue to bring purpose, healing, and deliverance to your life.

IrmaHyde Park, New York

I believe that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion..., this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance. I am deeply concerned that the Defamation of Religions Resolution has the effect of severely restricting these foundational freedoms and undermines the right to religious liberty. I urge that everything possible should be done to ensure that the United Nations rejects this resolution....

He died and overcame death, hell, and the grave coming back to life to show us that those who believe in Him will not die but become like Him. His life, death, and resurrection restores our relationship with the Father. He is returning again to claim His Bride, the Church, and to judge the world. His kingdom will have no end! Blessed be the Name of the Lord!!

I believe that Jesus Christ is the One and only Way to Heaven. All Christians are called to minister the gospel. Luke 6:47-49(Amplified Bible) 47For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words [in order to heed their teaching] and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock. 49But he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed and fell, and the breaking and ruin of that house was great. Seven attributes of a Godly Christian 1.The Godly Christian will meditate on the word of God. (Joshua 1:8(Amplified Bible) 8This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. 2.The Godly Christian is a doer of the word, not a hearer only. James 1:22(Amplified Bible) 22But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]. James 1:25(Amplified Bible) 25But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience). 3.The Godly Christian does not speak evil of his brother or sister. James 4:11(Amplified Bible) 11[My] brethren, do not speak evil about or accuse one another. He that maligns a brother or judges his brother is maligning and criticizing the Law and judging the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are not a practicerof the Law but a censor and judge [of it]. 4.The Godly Christian is not only willing to do what God says, but he is also obediant. Isaiah 1:19(Amplified Bible) 19If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. 5.The Godly Christian seeks the Kingdom of God first. Matthew 6:33(Amplified Bible) 33But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. 6.The Godly Christian is a tither. Malachi 3:10-12(Amplified Bible) 10Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you happy and blessed, for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts. 7.The Godly Christian establishes himself in righteous. Isaiah 54:14-15, 17(Amplified Bible) 14You shall establish yourself in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God's will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it is not from Me. Whoever stirs up strife against you shall fall and surrender to you. 17But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord. Are You A Godly Ghristian?...

I believe that as Christians we should be able to spread the gospel to all the earth freely and live as a Christian without fear of retribution from other religions or governments.

I believe that... those of us with freedom too often take it for granted, and are usually unaware of the daily struggles our Christian brothers & sisters are facing daily. Now that we know - and with technology being what it is - it is time to get the word out. It's the very least we can do.

All religions should be treated equally and open for criticism and questioning. Individuals or groups should have the right to express their religious beliefs, change their religion, and talk about their religion. Of course anyone has the right to listen or not to listen to anyone who is talking about their religion.

Harry

I believe that...any religion that teaches hatred toward people whose faith is different is sadly misquided. God is good, loving and merciful - He knows our hearts and understands that we each walk our own paths whether we choose to worship Him or not. No one has the right to be judge and executioner with regard to people of differing opinions and faiths.

What is Free To Believe?

Free to Believe is a worldwide advocacy campaign. Open Doors aims to raise awareness about the United Nations (UN) resolution raised by the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) known as the ‘ Defamation of Religions Resolution’ and to prevent it from being passed by the General Assembly, this December in New York. The campaign includes:

  • Lobbying Governments to vote no on the Resolution.
  • Raising awareness of the issue through a media campaign.
  • Organising a global petition to collect signatures from across the world in support of religious liberty and urging the rejection of the ‘Defamation of Religions Resolution’.
  • Working on advocacy at the United Nations to prevent the resolution being passed.

The voices of Christians around the world are vitally important to defeat the ‘Defamation of Religions Resolution’.Open Doors encourages you to sign the global petition to say YES to “Free to Believe” and NO to the ‘Defamation of Religions Resolution’.

We believe every person, has the right to choose and practice their religion based on their convictions and conscience, rather than their family of birth, ethnicity or people group.
 

About the Resolution

Who: The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), an inter-governmental organization of 57 states with majority or significant Muslim populations, has been working for several years through the United Nations system to justify and advance the Defamation of Religions Resolution.

What: The Defamation of Religions Resolution, introduced in the UN, seeks to criminalize words or actions that are deemed to be against a particular religion, especially against Islam. Although proponents justify the “defamation of religion” concept as protecting religious practice and promoting tolerance, it really promotes intolerance and human rights violations of religious freedom and freedom of speech for religious minorities in these countries.

Why: The Defamation of Religions Resolution has the effect of providing international legitimacy for national laws that punish blasphemy or otherwise ban criticism of a religion.

When: The OIC is expected to propose to the UN General Assembly another “defamation of religions” resolution to be voted on late November/early December.

Where: The UN General Assembly in New York City, New York.

Stories of those who are not free to believe.

Uzbekistan Egypt Afghanistan Nigeria

Prayer Points

Egypt

In Egypt, citizens are issued an identity card at birth, stating whether they are Muslim, Christian or Jew. The state does not recognize conversion from Islam and refuses to allow citizens to change their religious affiliations. As one believer explains, converts to Christianity face difficulties in the areas of marriage, inheritance and children’s religious education.
"Although I was born Muslim, now I am a follower of Jesus Christ, my Savior. I want to change my ID card to show I am a Christian and to be able to raise my children as Christians. Under Sharia (Islamic law) you can never leave Islam and become a Christian.
Because I went to court to request this change, I have received death threats. Even my attorneys have been threatened. The court is looking for a reason to deny my request. They are seeking more restrictive laws, which will support their position. And they will deny I can change my card to say I am now a Christian."
Please Pray:
  • For strength and protection for Egyptian believers facing violence and death threats.
  • For wisdom and courage for Egyptian church leaders working to support believers from a Muslim background.
  • For a change in Egyptian law to establish true freedom of religion.

Uzbekistan

Christians in Uzbekistan face many restrictions. An Uzbek is supposed to be a Muslim, and live according to Muslim traditions. Believers face pressure from family and the authorities to return to Islam.
"When my husband and I became Christians, his parents made us leave their house. My brothers beat him. My husband also lost his job. We decided to move to another city. Today we are leaders of a small house group of Uzbek Christians. Recently most of our furniture was confiscated to pay for a fine for meeting without registration and having Bibles in our home. Next time they charge us, we may go to jail."
Please Pray:
  • For perseverance for new Uzbek believers under pressure to return to Islam.
  • For Uzbek church leaders to remain faithful despite much opposition.
  • Praise God that many Uzbek Christians are sharing the gospel.
  • Pray that the church there would continue to grow.

Afghanistan

Pressure on Afghans who leave Islam is strong. Most Christians are secret believers unable even to own a Bible. Believers who are exposed face reprisals from family, community and the Taliban.
"My family and I are living in the mountains. The Taliban are also here, but it is safer than our small town. The reason I am living here is because a while ago I had a vision about Jesus Christ. He said to me, He is the one that I am supposed to be following. After I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, I had to tell my family about it and they became violent. My family told me they are going to tell the Taliban about us. Now if the Taliban come and catch us, they are going to kill me on the spot. They are going to take my children and make them radical Muslims, and give my wife to somebody else."
Please Pray:
  • For the safety of Afghan believers whose faith has been made public.
  • That secret believers in Afghanistan would gain access to God’s Word through satellite TV and radio programs.
  • For peace, stability and freedom of religion in this troubled region.

Nigeria

Although Nigeria’s constitution guarantees freedom of religion, 12 northern states have imposed Islamic law in the past 10 years. Repeated outbreaks of ethnic and religious violence have destroyed numerous churches and claimed hundreds of lives.
"One day an angry group of Muslims came and destroyed our church. No one would protect us. Instead, the authorities gave us seven days to tear our church down. We have no protection and we have no voice. Some days we feel that we have no hope. But we know God still has a plan and it could come from others speaking out. Perhaps these people will listen to the voices of others from around the world. You have the right to speak. I want the right to believe and to worship in peace."
Please Pray:
  • For comfort and healing for Nigerian Christians bereaved or injured in religious violence.
  • For strength for Nigerian Christians to forgive their persecutors and share the love of Christ with them.
  • For wisdom and courage for Nigerian church leaders facing opposition from Islamic extremists.

Give a Bible to change the life of a persecuted believer!

Each day thousands of believers around the world are faced with challenges of living as a Christian in a closed country. They have miraculously come to faith in Christ, but they live in areas with few Bibles and no churches.

Many of them are outcasts, rejected by their families and communities. Some are beaten, some are killed. All feel terribly alone. In these harsh conditions, can you imagine the joy and comfort a bible of their own would bring one of these new believers?

A Bible costs just $10 to print and deliver!

Today... in less than five minutes... you can give a Bible and change the life of a fellow believer for good. Make your donation below.
