Clear words. Strong actions.
Clear words and strong actions define the work of AVC – Action for Persecuted Christians and People in Need. We work internationally, focusing on regions where Christians face persecution and communities struggle with poverty. Our mission is to bring hope and share the message of Jesus Christ worldwide.
A central part of our work is church planting. We go to places where few others reach and share our faith through both words and practical action. This includes our humanitarian projects and long-term partnerships, which create lasting change in communities facing the greatest need.
On our website, you can explore our global missionary and humanitarian work. We look forward to welcoming you at one of our events.

Testimonial Eduard Schmidt
»When I talk with our partners on the ground, I hear it again and again: 'Your support carries us.' They preach the gospel, often under extreme conditions, and see new churches being planted. What moves me most is when people hear this message for the very first time in their lives. That is made possible by the support of our mission friends. Thank you for carrying this mission with us.«
Testimonial Waldemar Sardczuk
»I read the book 'Tortured for Christ' by Richard Wurmbrand. Meeting him and others who endured decades of imprisonment and torture made a deep impression on me. On a 'Bible smuggling trip' to Russia, I was arrested and interrogated - a tiny taste of what persecuted Christians suffer.«
