Registered Charity No: 280577 (England & Wales), SC040456 (Scotland).
Release International provides practical, pastoral and prayerful help to persecuted Christians in around 30 countries. This is done through local Christian partners.
We were founded in 1968, inspired by the life and suffering of Romanian pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who was imprisoned and tortured for his faith, in the then communist Romania. The Bible verse that shapes our work is Hebrews 13:3: ‘Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.’
By leaving a gift to Release International in your Will, you will enable us to continue to:
- Strengthen and equip pastors and churches in areas where Christians suffer severe persecution
- Support prisoners of faith and their families
- Run trauma counselling programmes for those bereaved by extremist attacks
- Deliver emergency relief to those who have been forced to flee as a result of persecution
- Provide Bibles and other Christian resources and training where most needed
- Help provide legal aid to those unjustly arrested and imprisoned because of their faith
- Encourage Christians to love their enemies and to pray for those who persecute them
Thank you so much for considering Release International as a charity to be included in your (or your client’s) Will.
