Persecution

Persecution

According to the recently published Open Doors USA 2022 World Watch List, “360 million Christians (an increase of 20 million compared to last year) live in places where they experience high levels of persecution, just for following Jesus. That’s 1 in 7 believers, worldwide.” Christians in Afghanistan are now considered the most heavily persecuted in the world (surpassing a North Korea that has held the top spot for the previous twenty years). Let’s pause today and pray for our fellow family members in Christ who live under the grave threat of persecution, confinement and death each and every day simply because they love Christ. Just as Peter was miraculously freed from prison in answer to prayer, the same could happen today as a result of your fervent intercession. Now that’s something to pray about!
