Support Groups

We encourage you to take an active role in our work by praying and campaigning for religious freedom. When asked what we can do for them, more often than not, persecuted Christians ask for our prayers.

In addition to prayer, support groups often actively lobby their MP, MEPs and other government leaders as well as send cards and letters of encouragement to individuals supported by CSW who are either in prison or persecuted for their faith.
Meeting with others is both hugely encouraging and effective.  Why not join or set up a support group in your area?

Below are the locations of existing groups known to us.  If you are already part of a group not featured here, please do let us know so that we can add your group to the list and welcome others to join.

For advice on creating a support group or for more information on your local group, please fill in the contact form below.

Please note that many of the groups listed below are multi-agency and are not made up exclusively of CSW supporters.  These groups pray for and support multiple organisations who work on behalf of those facing religious persecution.
