"She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: 'You are the God
who sees me,' for she said, 'I have now seen the One who sees me.'"
Genesis 16:13 NIVUK
SAVE THE DATE!
This year’s International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church will be held on Sunday, November 3rd.
We invite you to set some time aside on November 3rd to prayerfully remember our Christian brothers and sisters around the world who share our faith but not our freedom. A full resource kit is available for free download to help your church pray more effectively. This resource kit includes a three-minute video, bulletin inserts, children’s resources, sermon outlines, and more!
This year’s theme is Remember Her. While all followers of Jesus can suffer for their faith, the various forms of persecution that Christian women encounter often look different than the ones Christian men face. For women and girls, persecution is complex, hidden and violent. It is characterized by sexual violence and forced marriage, as well as by insidious, invisible abuse behind closed doors.
Let's pray for the members of our global family in Christ who are living with immense pressure due to their faith, and remember our Christian sisters in particular for the hidden persecutions they endure.
Thank you for praying,
The IDOP Canada Team
