International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

Sunday, November 3, 2024

Unleash the Voice of Prayer

Please join us in praying with our persecuted brothers and sisters living in restricted nations this November and throughout the year.

Receiving threats from unbelievers and the oppressive establishment is commonplace for the Persecuted Church. Threats frequently arrive in various forms, causing rejection at home, at school, and even at work. Finding that safe “place” to worship without malicious threats and finding the inner peace to continue to share Jesus no matter the cost is a spiritual battle.

As the Holy Spirit calls you to a specific corner of the world, please pray with believers to remain steadfast when their own lives are at risk. These resources will equip and guide you through prayer for those who risk much for Jesus.
