International Day of Prayer - November 13, 2005

In Iraq, Africa, North Korea, the Philippines, and around the globe, Christians are beaten and killed, churches burned, and laws passed to restrict worship. Christians today face as much persecution as ever before. Jesus said his followers would not receive better treatment than he did, but he did promise the Comforter. Through prayer, we can encourage those suffering for Christ's sake. To pray knowledgably, read these articles and reports about Christians suffering for their faith. (from Christianity Today magazine)
