"Pray without ceasing ... " —1 Thessalonians 5:17
Many of you are so moved by the stories and reports of persecuted brothers and sisters around the world that you make praying for them an ongoing priority - beyond IDOP Sunday. You can pray more specifically by visiting the following partner sites where up-to-date news is posted. We encourage you to visit these sites. Many of those who live under the opression of persecution often ask for two things - the first for us to pray for them - the second for us to remember and to act on their behalf. Stay connected with the persecuted - visit these sites - then PRAY, REMEMBER, and ACT.

This is the plea of persecuted Christians around the world.
Today around the world over 200 million are suffering for their faith in Jesus Christ. Each year, Christians in over 130 countries stand in prayer with our persecuted sisters and brothers through the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP). Join with us as Christians across Canada unite in prayer for our brothers and sisters who suffer because they declare their faith in Christ.
IDOP 2012 will take place on Sunday, November 4th. This year we celebrate IDOP Sunday on the first Sunday of the month, out of respect for Rememberance Day which will be the second Sunday of the Month. If unable to participate in IDOP Sunday on this date, congregations are encouraged to set aside time on another day to remember our persecuted brothers and sisters. The important thing is to pray. The IDOP Canada partners have put together a free downloadable resource kit and DVD film to assist congregations, groups and friends to pray effectively for persecutors and the persecuted church.
