International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church:

Although IDOP is recognized in November, these resources are available year-round for your church or prayer meeting.

Every day, believers around the world risk banishment, beatings, imprisonment and death to follow Christ and take His Gospel farther. Perseverance often seems impossible, but when the Lord enables believers to stand strong, He works mightily through their sufferings.

During IDOP 2012, we asked you to pray for GFA pastor Ugyen during his time in prison for sharing the Gospel. Now free, he and recently released Pastor Samuel share their stories of persecution and tremendous grace.

On November 3 (or any Sunday in November), join churches across the nation in lifting up the persecuted through unified prayer. Share this video with your congregation, and let them see how their prayers can strengthen believers and expand God’s kingdom into the most unreached places.
