Our passion is to inspire others with the message of the persecuted church. The World Watch List was designed to help share our passion by presenting the true extent of persecution around the globe.
The World Watch List is compiled from a specially-designed questionnaire of 50 questions covering various aspects of religious freedom. A point value is assigned depending on how each question is answered. The total number of points per country determines its position on the World Watch List of countries that are the worst persecutors of Christians.
Our mission is to use this extensive resource to spread awareness of the degree and severity of persecution around the world.
As you read through the World Watch List, you'll be moved to pray. You might be brought to tears at what you read. To help you pray through for the dire circumstances, we've compiled the World Watch List prayer guide, which is free to download.
To help spread awareness, we have made the complete and comprehensive World Watch Listfree and available for download.

by isolation, communism and hostility towards Christianity. In the face of persecution, Christianity continues to spread in China, a country of
