Proof The Bible Is True

Thousands of churches in the US have been asked to set aside time in their services April 17 in order to pray for persecuted Christians around the world. The Voice of the Martyrs is one of the ministries behind this effort, called “Stand With the Persecuted Sunday.”

The first request of persecuted Christians, when VOM staff meet with them around the world, is that American Christians will pray for them. What is challenging to us is that they are not asking us to pray that they will be released from their suffering or that persecution will end; instead they ask us to pray that they will be FAITHFUL TO CHRIST in spite of what it costs them.

The Voice of the Martyrs has numerous resources to help your church be inspired to pray more fervently for our persecuted family. One video that speaks specifically to what Christians in the Middle East are facing is called Leina’s Prayer:
