Persecution Relief
Read full descriptionHide full description
Persecution Relief is the official app of an inter-denominational community standing with the persecuted Church in India — in prayer, in advocacy, in legal aid, and in practical relief. When a believer is threatened, attacked, or pressured because of their faith, the hardest part is often knowing who to turn to. This app puts reporting, urgent help, prayer, and legal and relief support in one place, in your own language. REPORT AN INCIDENT Record what happened, when, and where, and attach photos or video from your phone as evidence. Your report goes to our team for review and follow-up, and you can track every case you have raised in one place. EMERGENCY SOS Raise an urgent alert when you are in danger. Share your location, record a short voice message when typing is not safe or not possible, and reach the national helpline with one tap. PRAYER WALL Post a prayer request and see it prayed over by believers across the country. Pray for others, mark requests you are carrying, and join live prayer rooms and scheduled prayer meetings from your phone. Urgent needs are surfaced first so they are not missed. LEGAL AND RELIEF SUPPORT Read clear guidance on your rights, on filing a complaint, and on what to do in the first hours after an incident. Request legal help or practical relief for yourself, your family, or a believer you are supporting. NEWS AND TESTIMONIES Follow verified reports of what the Church across India is facing, and read testimonies of courage, endurance, and answered prayer. Approved members can submit news and testimonies from their own region. DEVOTIONS AND TRAINING Daily devotional readings to strengthen you, and structured training material with lessons and assessments for volunteers and local leaders. YOUR REGION Find verified coordinators, gatherings, and events near you, and connect with the network in your state and district. THIRTEEN LANGUAGES Use the app in English, Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, or Assamese. Content is translated by our volunteer translation team, and pages can be read aloud for members who find reading difficult. A VERIFIED COMMUNITY Because of what members share here, Persecution Relief is not an open social network. You sign in with your phone number, and your account is activated once a leader in your area endorses you. Until then you will see a waiting screen. If no one in your region knows you yet, contact us through the helpline or our website and we will connect you to a coordinator. WHO IT IS FOR Believers facing hostility or violence for their faith. Pastors and local leaders caring for affected families. Volunteers, intercessors, and legal and relief workers who respond alongside them. ABOUT PERSECUTION RELIEF Persecution Relief records and responds to the persecution of the Church in India, and links it to the free Church of the world. Every report strengthens the record, and every record helps someone receive prayer, counsel, legal aid, and relief.
