Freedom Sunday - 4 November
International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church 2012
This year, be part of the story of freedom: cry out for the captives
An imprisoned church leader in Iran is desperately ill and is being denied adequate medical treatment. On 4 November, join churches around the world to pray for him and others around the world who suffer for their faith.
Pastor Behnam Irani has been beaten severely and regularly by the prison authorities and other prisoners since he was jailed last year. He has difficulty walking, is barely able to speak, and urgently needs intestinal surgery. We’ve heard from a reliable source that he may have only months to live. He’s serving a combined six-year sentence for “action against the state” and “action against the order.” But the written verdict describes him as an apostate (someone who has left Islam) and states that apostates can be executed.
Unfortunately, he’s not the only one. As you read this, more and more people around the world are experiencing harassment, imprisonment, torture, or even fatal attacks, simply because of what they believe; but we know that prayer changes things. That’s why we want you and your church to pray with us on Freedom Sunday 2012 (the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church - IDOP) on 4 November. Your free resource pack includes a small group Bible study, sermon ideas, children’s activities – and loads more!
This year, pray with us on 4 November, Freedom Sunday. We’re expecting great things from God as we cry out for freedom for the captives! Join us and become part of the story. |
