International Day Of Prayer For Persecuted Church on Nov. 12th

This Sunday marks the date specified for prayer for the persecuted church. I believe it would be best to prepare our hearts for Sunday ahead of time by understanding what our brothers and sisters in Christ are going through in restricted nations. I would also like to take this opportunity to list a few countries that we care specifically for, and how you can specifically pray for them on Sunday. Thank you.

IRAQ

  • Pray for a stable, democratic government in Iraq that respects the rights of all Iraqis.
  • Pray for protection for Christians during this time of upheaval and danger.
  • Pray for ministry opportunities for churches and Christian relief organizations working in Iraq.

CHINA

  • Pray for spiritual and physical strength for the thousands of Christians in prison for their faith in China.
  • Pray for boldness for Christians in sharing the Gospel, despite the dangers that they face.
  • Pray that international governments will hold China accountable for its abhorrent record of human rights.

NIGERIA

  • Pray for peace and strength for Christians facing opposition from Muslims in Nigeria.
  • Pray that Christians will demonstrate the love of Christ, in spite of the opposition that they face.
  • Pray that one law, with equality for all, will govern the nation of Nigeria
