International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

Yesterday was the International day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Every year we as a church come together with four other churches in the area to have a joint gathering.  This year we had a morning of prayer, worship, and community together. We had a representative from Open Doors Ministry share with us some stories of our Christian brothers and sisters going through persecution and the countries that are the most persecuted. It was hard to hear those stories, but also challenging for our hearts. In the evening we had a prayer gathering in which we learned about persecution in North Korea, Pakistan, and Egypt. The theme this year was to "Pray with Them". It was a good reminder for our hearts that we are praying with them. Here is a link to ways to pray for the persecuted church. There are five prayer points, we encourage you to take one prayer point for the next five days to focus on. Below are some pictures from both the morning and evening gatherings.
