They will hear directly from those who have endured religious persecution, receive briefings and input from organisations like CSW, and discuss how they can work together towards a world where everyone is free to believe. We\u2019re excited that world leaders are taking this issue so seriously and we pray that, as we\u2019ve worked so hard towards this opportunity, God would make our efforts fruitful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/ministerial\/\" target=\"_blank\">csw.org.uk\/ministerial<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Sunday 3 July<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are dozens of \u2018fringe\u2019 events around the Ministerial \u2013 in schools, universities and places of worship \u2013 to help raise awareness. One of our key aims is to galvanise the next generation. Pray that young activists would be inspired to stand with everyone facing injustice for what they believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Monday 4 July<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several survivors of persecution have been invited to the Ministerial to share their stories. Their testimonies help to ground conversations, so that leaders understand the realities that religious and belief communities around the world are facing. Pray that their stories will capture people\u2019s hearts so that leaders feel compelled to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Tuesday 5 July<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today the Ministerial begins, opening with the National Prayer Breakfast. As leaders hold discussions on key themes like blasphemy laws and mass atrocity prevention, pray for a coming together of minds, inspired thinking and viable solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Wednesday 6 July<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s vital that the Ministerial goes beyond discussions and that clear actions are agreed. Pray that leaders would be ambitious and bold in their thinking and come away with a robust plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Thursday 7 July<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Ministerial is a two-day event, this entire week is an opportunity for CSW advocates to engage with foreign secretaries and other advocacy targets who have travelled to London. Pray for opportunities and open hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Friday 8 July<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.\u2019 James 1:5 ESV.
