The Cost: Brother Andrew & Syria
"Sixty years ago a man called Andrew took the risk of saying ‘Yes’ to God. It led him to venture behind the Iron Curtain where he discovered persecuted Christians, people who were truly counting the cost of following Christ. 'Brother Andrew' went on to found Open Doors, an organisation that supports persecuted Christians in over 50 countries today – including thousands of Christians in Syria. As this short film weaves between the story of Brother Andrew’s early adventures of faith and the story of the church in Syria today, we are presented with the same choice: are we ready to say ‘Yes’ to God, whatever the cost?"

With bold beginnings in 1955 when 'Brother Andrew' smuggled Bibles into Eastern Europe for the first time, Open Doors exists today to strengthen the church in the most hostile places around the world. In over 50 countries their underground networks supply Bibles, train church leaders, deliver Bible-based literacy programmes and support Christians who suffer for their faith. One of their main goals is to raise awareness of global persecution and to mobilise Christians to pray, support and act.
