WORLD: Prayer for the Persecuted

Source: Voice of the Martyrs, September 22, 2020

Join Christians around the world in a global prayer meeting for our persecuted brothers and sisters who boldly witness for Christ at any cost.

VOM’s 2020 IDOP short film, Janette: Central African Republic, is a dramatic portrayal of how persecuted Christians in the Central African Republic have been displaced from their homes and villages by civil war and Islamist violence.

But these courageous believers have also forgiven their persecutors and held fast to their faith in Christ. You and your church will be inspired to pray for and support Christians like Janette who have lost everything because of their Christian faith.

» Watch film below.

» Note, we see the IDOP referred to in several different ways this year: as an international day of prayer for the persecuted church, for persecuted Christians, or simply “for the persecuted.” Not sure if there’s been a name change or not. Most observe it November 1 or November 8 but VOM adds “and through the month of November.”
