Pastor Edward is truly on the front lines of persecution in Syria. His community was destroyed by ISIS and yet, alongside a small group of other believers, he is committed to remaining in the area as a light.<\/p>\n

We have a golden opportunity coming up this Sunday [November 5]: the International Day of Prayer (IDOP) for the persecuted church. Believers like Pastor Edward have endured extreme trials this year and they need our mighty prayers.<\/p>\n

You can be a part of this battle in prayer against the powers of darkness. There\u2019s never been a time your faithful intercession is needed more.<\/p>\n

Here are five key ways that you can take action on IDOP Sunday and stand united with our persecuted brothers and sisters:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write a digital letter to a persecuted Christian and remind them they\u2019re not alone.<\/li>\n
  2. Pray for the top 10 countries on the World Watch List.<\/li>\n
  3. Listen to the Daily Prayer Story about real people living in persecution.<\/li>\n
  4. Pray for these five believers imprisoned for their faith.<\/li>\n
  5. Share this meme on your social accounts and ask friends to join you in prayer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
