It’s a sad and scary fact that the war against Christians is getting worse, not better. Open Doors released  its 2019 World Watch List on global persecution with this terrifying observation: “Persecution is increasing at an alarming rate.” In fact, according to the study, “each day, a staggering 11 Christians are killed for their faith in the top 50 countries ranked on the World Watch List.”

North Korea remains the No. 1 worst country for Christians, with Afghanistan coming in at second. Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen, Iran, and India round out the top 10 of the Watch List’s top 50 countries.

Here are some other disturbing monthly statistics:

  • 345 Christians are killed for faith-related reasons.
  • 105 churches and Christian buildings are burned or attacked.
  • 219 Christians are detained without trial, arrested, sentenced, and imprisoned.

The recording period for the 2019 World Watch List shows some other staggering figures for Christians in the top 50 countries for persecution and the most dangerous to be a Christian.

  • 1 in 9 Christians experience high levels of persecution worldwide.
  • 4,136 were killed for faith-related reasons – 11 per day.
  • 1,266 Churches or Christian buildings were attacked.
  • 2,625 Christians were detained without trial, arrested, sentenced, and imprisoned.
