PRAY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
prayer Request
Nigeria
Nigeria is one of the most violent places in the world for Christians. Pray for those whose loved ones have been killed or abducted. Pray that God would also work in the hearts of Nigerian government leaders so that they would be convicted and challenged to work to protect Christian citizens and communities.
"PRAYER IS NOT PREPARATION FOR THE BATTLE; PRAYER IS THE BATTLE."
Prayer Resources
When Open Doors partners connect with our persecuted family around the world, the number one request we receive is that we continue to pray for them.
You can use these resources to help you pray for your brothers and sisters where faith costs the most.
Prayer Calendar
Our Prayer Calendar is published once a month. You can take time each day to pray for the persecuted church with a request from a specific person, country, or situation listed for that day. Use the prayer calendar for your church, your family, or your personal prayer time!
The PAUSE Initiative
When you sign up for Pause, you receive a toolkit each month with everything you need to pause once a month during your service to pray for the persecuted church. The toolkit includes a video explaining a current prayer request, related graphics, and more. Available in both English and French.
World Watch List Prayer Meeting Toolkit
Download this toolkit to find everything you need to hold your own prayer meeting for the persecuted church – visual aids, information kits, and more.
Monthly Zoom Prayer Meeting
