International anti-persecution charity, Open Doors, is holding a big event in Birmingham where international speakers will raise awareness about persecution around the world.
The bill includes a speaker from Nigeria, who escaped Boko Haram, an extremist group who's name roughly means 'Western education is forbidden', as well as a refugee from North Korea and a Bible smuggler from China.
Farouk Hammo, a church leader from Baghdad, Iraq is also speaking and told Premier that his job is a huge challenge: "It's not an easy task, but not all people have been called for such a thing.
"I've been called for this sort of ministry - and we need wisdom - we're depending on the prayers of people so that each ministry will keep on."
He added that: "It is very hard, and people they need hope - the temptation to leave overseas is really hard and people are leaving - but people need hope, and we're trying to give them hope, and trying to show them the way to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus."
Mr Hammo told Premier that he hopes conflicts will cease: "My prayer is that all of these hardships will come to an end and there will be peace in the country.
"That people will respect their own differences with others and that people will live a normal life, just like in any other country."
