Open Doors「Arise Africa」请愿签名突破104万：首席执行官12日赴国会作证
基督教援助机构 Open Doors 11月10日在加州 Santa Ana 宣布，其历时三年的全球请愿「Arise Africa」签名已突破104万个，超过原定100万的目标；该机构美国首席执行官 Ryan Brown 将于11月12日（周四）在美国国会一场听证会上就尼日利亚中部地带基督徒保护议题发言。
Brown 表示，撒哈拉以南非洲的基督徒请全球信徒收集100万个签名，如今这一愿景已经实现；这场暴力长期被忽视，超过100万人正同声表明苦难必须结束，迫害的规模巨大，这场回应同样巨大。
据 Open Doors，请愿呼吁各国政府加强保护弱势社区、追究袭击者责任、帮助幸存者重建生活；该机构国际倡议团队将把签名递交给联合国、欧盟与多国政府。其研究显示，撒哈拉以南非洲平均每天有12名基督徒因信仰被杀，当地针对基督徒的暴力比世界任何其他地区都更广泛；其《2026全球守望名单》记录，报告期内全球至少1,700名基督徒因信仰遭受性暴力或骚扰，受影响最严重的10个国家中有8个位于撒哈拉以南非洲。
Open Doors 1955年创立，如今在70多个国家支持受迫害基督徒，以每年发布的《全球守望名单》为人所知；「Arise Africa」行动目标是支持400万名受暴力影响的非洲基督徒，提供实际援助、创伤关怀与倡议。

Open Doors' Arise Africa Petition Passes 1.04 Million Signatures Ahead of CEO's Congressional Testimony
Open Doors announced in Santa Ana, California, on November 10 that its three-year global petition, Arise Africa, has surpassed its goal, reaching over 1.04 million signatures calling for protection, restoration and justice for Christians facing extreme violence in sub-Saharan Africa. Open Doors US CEO Ryan Brown is set to present at a congressional hearing this Thursday, November 12, on protecting Christians in Nigeria's Middle Belt.
Brown called the milestone a monumental achievement, saying Christians in sub-Saharan Africa had challenged the global church to gather one million signatures and that more than a million people are now proclaiming with one voice that the suffering must end.
The petition calls on governments to strengthen protection for vulnerable communities, prosecute those responsible for attacks and help survivors rebuild their lives. Open Doors' international advocacy team will present the signatures to the United Nations, the European Union and governments around the world. The organization says an average of 12 Christians are killed for their faith every day in sub-Saharan Africa, where violence against Christians is more widespread than in any other region; its 2026 World Watch List recorded at least 1,700 Christians worldwide who experienced sexual violence or harassment for their faith during the reporting period, with eight of the 10 most affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
Founded in 1955, Open Doors supports persecuted Christians in more than 70 countries and is best known for its annual World Watch List. The Arise Africa campaign aims to support four million Christians affected by violence through practical assistance, trauma care and advocacy.
