Would you like to work with us to help persecuted and suffering Christians around the world?
We are always searching for willing hearts and helping hands. You can share information on social media. You can come to our church. You can start a prayer group. You can be a representative in your church. You can help with our website. No matter where you are in life, if you have a heart to serve the persecuted Church, we can find a place for you.
Working or volunteering with EHN is a great way to use your skills and experience to make a real difference to the lives of persecuted Christians who need our help. You can find out more about volunteering opportunities below. If you think you can help us, we look forward to hearing from you. Our volunteers become part of our family.
Here are just a few of the ways you can volunteer with EHN:
Home Volunteer
Most of our volunteers work from their homes. Depending on the skills and experience that you have, we may be able to offer you voluntary work which you can do at home, such as proof-reading our written materials.
Prayer Coordinator Volunteer
Prayer is our leading priority at Enduring Hope Network (EHN). We are so grateful that many supporters already pray for the persecuted Church. There is power in prayer. You can fulfill a crucial role by praying and mobilizing your church, cell group or youth group to pray for persecuted Christians. Volunteer Prayer Coordinators will be provided with a Prayer Pack and regular prayer updates.
Radical Youth Volunteer
Our youth ministry (Radical Youth) raises awareness about Christians who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. We mobilize young people to do something about it. Radical Youth challenges young people to choose to live for Jesus and be a generation that takes faith and church seriously.
Church Volunteer
If you are not based near our Church, but would like to get involved with our work, you might like to become a Church Representative and share our mission with people in your local community. Church Volunteers can help as follows:
- Distribute “Secret Suffering” and other printed materials at their church.
- Encourage prayer by raising items at church prayer meetings and/or through church services or notice sheet.
- Alert church leaders to special emergency needs.
- Promote special events such as the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church and encourage people to support petitions and campaigns.
- Motivate individuals and the church to support EHN.
Speaker Volunteer
We are looking for individuals who have experience in public speaking (and possibly preaching) to give a voice to Christians around the world who cannot speak for themselves. Volunteer Speakers are provided with training, information and materials including DVDs and PowerPoint presentations. Speakers may be approached by Enduring Hope Network (EHN) to speak at a few engagements a year in local churches and Christian groups that fit in with their schedule. Speakers may also initiate their own speaking engagements.
Area Volunteer
Area Partners promote the work of Enduring Hope Network (EHN) across a local area rather than just within a local church. Although we are looking for at least one Area Volunteer in each county, the area can be tailored to suit depending on what is manageable for themselves and their community. Area Volunteers may help promote special Enduring Hope Network (EHN) meetings in the area, distribute material to local churches, look for opportunities for speakers and support Church Volunteers in the area.
Raise Awareness
Be a voice for the persecuted Church by raising awareness about persecution through various outlets, such a speaking engagement, translation work, social media, newsletter distributions, and administrational assignments.
Events Volunteer
We need volunteers to help us at events from time to time. This is a wonderful opportunity to put your skills to use. You will have a chance to be part of events where you can serve our persecuted brothers and sisters.
