Today, Nov. 1st, is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.
The first request of persecuted Christians when asked how we can help them is, “Pray for us.” Please join us in praying for our brothers & sisters around the world who are suffering.
Last year was the worst year for persecuted Christians in contemporary history as beatings, rapes, kidnappings, and killings all increased.
The situation has only worsened in 2015. Even Christian-majority countries are seeing increases in discrimination, exclusion, and violence.
The advancement of the Islamic State group and totalitarian governments like North Korea has contributed to the rise in persecution.
Here are links to Voice of the Martyrs and Open Doors. These two ministries have further information and materials available to focus your prayers on.
Sharing is caring!
