Wybo N. is Dutch, married and has two grown children. He has a degree in Modern History. Currently the Chief Strategy Officer of Open Doors International, Wybo is over all the Field work of the whole organization. He started with Open Doors in 1985 as a researcher for the Soviet Union, then worked inside Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. In 1991 he was responsible for ODI (Open Doors International) Global Research. During that year he set up the Open Doors World Watch List (https://www.opendoorsusa.org/christian-persecution/world-watch-list/about-the-ranking/) and https://www.opendoorsusa.org/christian-persecution/world-watch-list/, still the list to measure religious freedom on a global level. During that period (1991-97) he was responsible for expanding the work of Open Doors in Egypt, Iraq and Iran, while he also began the work of Open Doors in countries like Nigeria, Bangladesh, Indonesia and India. In 1997, he became the Open Doors Deputy Director for the Middle East region. From 2002-2014, he was the Regional Director for the Middle East region. Now he oversees all Open Doors’ projects worldwide to serve the persecuted church. Wybo’s many Soviet and Middle East adventures qualify him as a fascinating, inspirational speaker and one of great wisdom, never divulging secrets that would in any way harm his colleagues or the persecuted Christians he so courageously serves, yet informing his listeners on details of the intensely political and religious struggles in the Middle East and all the other regions he oversees for Open Doors.
