Nov. 13 to be a day of prayer for the persecuted church and its oppressors
Intercessors around the world will head to their prayer closets on Nov. 13 to observe the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. They’ll pray for both persecuted Christians and their oppressors. In more than 60 countries, some 100 million Christians face persecution for their faith in Jesus Christ. Of the world’s 6.8 billion people, 70 percent live in countries with high restrictions on religion, according to the Pew Research Forum on Religion & Public Life.
“Millions are living every day under severe persecution because they choose to be followers of Christ,” says Carl Moeller, president of Open Doors USA. “Imagine the impact of millions of people all praying on one day for the same thing.”
