Pray for the Persecuted

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” Hebrews 13:3 (ESV)

“God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie‑talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances.” – John Piper

We recognize that lasting change for those who suffer persecution because of their faith can come only through the power of prayer. So we ask you to pray for those being persecuted in China.
