Open Doors USA President and CEO David Curry advocates on behalf of those who are persecuted for their Christian faith. In this role, he leads the organization in strengthening and equipping Christians living under or facing restriction, while encouraging them to remain strong in their faith under harrowing circumstances.

For nearly 60 years, Open Doors has worked in the world’s most oppressive countries, empowering Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. Open Doors equips persecuted Christians in more than 60 countries by providing Bibles, training, programs to help women and children who have been marginalized because of their beliefs and status in society, and helping to restore communities that have been destroyed because of faith.

Curry joined Open Doors in August 2013. He was previously CEO at The Rescue Mission and president at the Foundation for Grace, an organization that provides leadership and management training to nonprofit groups in South America.

Curry is the author of four books: First Aid for Enablers, It’s Not How Far You Fall It’s How High You Bounce, God Plays Golf and Change Your World!.

Curry holds a Bachelor of Arts from Northwest University in Seattle and an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Faith Evangelical College and Seminary based in Tacoma.

Based in Santa Ana, California, Curry and his wife have two children.
