2026 Theme: Do You Know Our Suffering?
IDOP 2026 is on Sunday, November 1. Register to receive first access to the IDOP resources, updates, stories and more! Free, downloadable resources will be available the beginning of September and will be emailed to you then.
“You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted...” 2 Timothy 3: 10-12
Dear Pastor/Church Leader:
Thank you for serving the mission of God in Canada!
This is an invitation for you to participate with the global fellowship of Christians in marking Sunday, November 1 as International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Here in Canada we, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, Intercede International, International Christian Response Canada, Mission Eurasia, Open Doors Canada, Take Heart, and Voice of the Martyrs Canada, celebrate your faithfulness and the faithful witness of Christians everywhere. This year’s theme will be “Do You Know Our Suffering?”.
More details and resources will be coming in the months ahead but, for now, we invite you to incorporate this important day of unified prayer, disciple-making, and witness into the life of your congregation and sphere of influence in November.
Together with you, for them, in HOPE and in prayer,
The IDOP Canada Team
