Saturday Morning Prayer for the Worldwide Persecuted Church

on May 30, 2014

Have you been praying for the Chibok, Nigeria girls kidnapped by Boko Haram,

for Christians in North Korea?

Is Pastor Saeed Abedini, the American Iranian in prison in Tehran,

or Pakistani Christians oppressed and accused of blasphemy on your heart?

Are you interceding for Sudanese Christian Meriam Yahya Ibrahim who has been sentenced to death in Sudan for her faith in Christ?

Are you excited by the growth of the Church in China?

Then don’t sleep in on Saturday morning! Grab a cup of coffee and join hundreds of fellow believers around the U.S. in the 5/31 TOGETHER FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH National Conference Call/Prayer Summit for the persecuted church around the world.

The call begins at 8 AM  and concludes at 11 AM, Eastern Time (5-8 AM Pacific!). The agenda is broken up to cover the world with prayer, beginning at 8:20 AM after the welcome and opening prayers. If you are not able to be on the call for the whole time, you are still welcome to call in at any point in the schedule.

I have been asked to pray for Meriam Ibrahim during the Intercession for Africa prayer time, and to share prayer points for Christians in South Sudan.

To participate, call the conference number 712-432-0075 and punch in the access code 6149782#
(Press *6 to mute — very important for courtesy to all callers)
