The latest World Watch List from Open Doors reads less like a report and more like a global distress signal. An unprecedented 388 million Christians now live under high levels of persecution—more than one in seven believers worldwide. From labor camps in North Korea to burned churches in Nigeria and underground house meetings in Iran, the cost of following Christ is rising sharply. What was once isolated to a handful of hostile regions has expanded into a global pattern of intimidation, violence, and suppression aimed squarely at biblical faith.
What makes this moment especially sobering is how persecution is evolving. While brutal violence continues—particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa—the report highlights a shift toward quieter, systemic oppression. Governments are increasingly using surveillance technology, restrictive laws, social pressure, and digital censorship to “squeeze” Christianity out of public life. China’s AI-powered monitoring of worshipers, Iran’s criminalization of house churches, and India’s nationalist anti-conversion laws reveal a coordinated effort to marginalize biblical Christianity without always resorting to overt bloodshed.
