Our slogan says it all: AVC is an international relief organization that works worldwide for persecuted Christians and those in need. Hand in hand with local partners, we are committed to helping the needy and forgotten of this world in over sixty countries on four continents. We work in the hotspots - where persecution of Christians meets spiritual and material need. Our mission consists of the following three areas of activity: • Assisting persecuted Christians Persecution of Christians has many faces. Worldwide, well over 309 million people are discriminated, disowned, disinherited, mistreated, expelled, imprisoned, tortured or killed – simply because they want to follow Jesus and live their faith peacefully. AVC gives these people a voice and supports them practically: courageously, resolutely, effectively. • Helping people in need Poor, without opportunities, without hope, without prospects: This is the life reality for billions of people. AVC helps in the areas of this world with structural poverty or in the middle of crisis, disaster, and war. And very close, in the forgotten countries of Europe. AVC provides need-oriented humanitarian aid: quickly, unbureaucratically, effectively. • Making Jesus Christ known We are convinced that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Faith in him offers perspective and gives hope – here and now and beyond. To help holistically, we take the Gospel to the farthest corners of the world. AVC makes Jesus Christ known. We spread the Christian message: committed, respectful, with heart. How you can support • read along – Subscribe to our free bi-monthly magazine "AVCreport" or our bi-monthly newsletter by e-mail.
