About Us

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. –2 Timothy 3:12

Persecution Project is a non-denominational Faith-based organization providing active compassion for the persecuted. We bring crisis relief and spiritual hope to victims of civil war, genocide and religious persecution. We also provide on-the-ground assistance while restoring hope and rebuilding communities through the love of Christ Jesus.

Persecution Project was founded in 1997 by Brad Phillips. In 1998, Brad traveled to war-ravaged Sudan and shot hours of video chronicling brutal persecution against Christians by the Islamist-controlled government.

This began a long journey, taking Persecution Project through many corners of Sudan. Persecution Project helped local pastors plant churches, supported orphans and widows, built and supplied medical clinics, and provided emergency relief to refugees.

In 2004, the organization expanded its work to include a growing number of refugees on the Darfur border fleeing the genocide taking place in that province. In 2009, a program was started to provide Safe Water to marginalized communities within the country.

From 2011 to the present, Persecution Project has engaged in an intense campaign to assist one of Sudan’s largest Christian minorities living in the Nuba mountains of Southern Kordofan State. Outreaches of Active Compassion include safe water borehole repairs, medical relief and hospital support, crisis relief items for the displaced, and distribution of discipleship materials for evangelistic efforts by the local church. 

You can help by using your community to serve their community and joining us in ACTIVE COMPASSION for the PERSECUTED.

Our Statement of Faith

We believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,

Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit;

We believe in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,

The forgiveness of sins,

The resurrection of the body,

And the life everlasting. Amen.
