— Psalm 145:18The International Day of Prayer (IDOP) for the Persecuted Church is a day in November dedicated to prayer for the men, women, and children who experience opposition or violence for their faith in dangerous regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. We believe that prayer is the most powerful force we can mobilize on behalf of persecuted Christians, and IDOP is an opportunity to lift up our brothers and sisters in the collective power of prayer.
