Praying For Persecuted Christians

In our first session of Jonah Navigating a Life Interrupted, Shirer asked us to think about those in a hopeless situation., Tracey shared about the CSW, a website for writing letters to persecuted Christians Worldwide, Judy told us of a lovely speech given by an African Bishop, and I found the guide to praying for Christian persecution. All three sites are listed below.

These are the six biblical ways to pray about global Christian persecution:

1. Pray for a bold witness of the Gospel in the midst of persecution. (Acts 4: 20)
2. Pray for supernatural miracles to confirm the Gospel. (Acts 4: 29-30)
3. Pray that the seed of the martyrs will produce a harvest of converts. (Acts 7: 60)
4. Pray for heavy conviction to fall on those who persecute the church. (Acts 9: 3-4)
5. Pray for angelic protection and intervention. (Acts 12: 7, 23) Remember, angels are warriors!
6. Pray that the global Christian community will work for peace and justice in the Middle East.
