Could Your Song Help Africa's Persecuted Church Be Heard?

What if your music could become the soundtrack to a movement for justice, hope and faith?

Premier is partnering with Arise Africa, an initiative from Open Doors UK & Ireland, to launch a national songwriting competition that will amplify the voices of persecuted Christians across Africa and inspire people to take action. The campaign calls on supporters to stand with African Christians facing violent persecution and to help "stop the violence and start the healing.

We're inviting Christian songwriters, worship leaders, musicians and creatives to write and submit an original song inspired by the courage, resilience and faith of believers who continue to follow Jesus despite facing intense opposition. Through your words and music, you can help tell their story, raise awareness of the challenges facing the Church across Africa and encourage thousands more people to engage with the Arise Africa petition.
