Pray for the Persecuted

Written by R. Herbert

November 1, 2015

Today is the first of three days set aside in the month of November as International Days of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (Nov. 1, 15, 22).

There is much information available regarding the plight of persecuted Christians in various areas around the world, and we should remind ourselves that we share a responsibility to know what is happening and to pray for those in desperate need.

On this website, for example, see our articles: “Words for a Time of Persecution,” “Do Not Betray the Refugees,”  ”The #WeAreN Campaign.”​

We also recommend Jonathan Petersen’s excellent article on this topic on the BibleGateway.org site here
