Unite in prayer for the persecuted Church

I am convinced that it is through your prayers that I was able to survive all the trials I faced. Together we have overcome the evil one and victory has indeed been ours. Helen Berhane, Eritrean gospel singer

Helen’s words say it all.  Uniting in prayer with the persecuted Church provides hope, strength and refuge to Christians facing persecution. 

When CSW team members ask persecuted Christians what we can do to help them, more often than not they answer with, “please pray.”  That was one of the things Helen asked us all to do.  And, our prayers brought her strength in the face of torture, imprisonment and a dangerous escape through Sudan.

On the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted Church (IDOP), 15 November 2009, you can help millions of Christians, like Helen, who need the strength and solidarity that our prayers provide. 

So, unite in prayer with persecuted Christians on IDOP and use your voice to change their lives.
