Calls for prayer as Christian persecution increases
from Christian Today:
Churches in the UK and Ireland are being asked to pray as persecution continues to grow worldwide.
The call has been made by Release International ahead of the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP).
Churches are being invited to use Sunday 5 November or another Sunday in November to highlight the plight of persecuted Christians.
Millions of Christians around the world face harassment, discrimination and violence, including death, for their faith. Many are not free to attend church or practise their faith out in the open.
Release International is teaming up with Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), Open Doors and the Evangelical Alliance for an online event to intercede for the persecuted Church at 7:30pm on 5 November.
The event will highlight the experience of persecuted Christians in Eritrea, Nigeria and Nicaragua, and those who have been imprisoned for their faith.
