Pray For the Persecuted Church

This Sunday, November 6th, is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.  Hundreds of millions of Christians around the world live in nations where they face severe persecution for their faith.

As a former Trump appointee to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, I am all too aware of the dangers many Christians endure for a right far too many Americans take for granted. 

For example, Nigerian Christians are frequently slaughtered by militant Islamists.  And as I have repeatedly warned, China is waging war against all faiths, including Christianity. 

Chinese Christians are being forced to take down pictures of Jesus and worship the communist dictator instead.  Facial recognition technology is being used to monitor who attends religious services.  The Chinese Communist Party is even rewriting the Bible!  A Christian pastor in Hong Kong was sentenced to prison recently for sedition.

If your pastor does not mention Christian persecution overseas this Sunday, please encourage him to make it a priority in future sermons, and to plan early for next year's International Day of Prayer.
