Can you think of a situation in your life where you felt all alone? Maybe you felt like God was far away? I know I have.
Seeing God through difficult times is an important part of the Christian journey. It’s often something we can’t do alone. In challenging situations, we must support each other and pray that He will bring His peace. Unfortunately, not everyone has this luxury. In fact, many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are in need of prayer.
Sunday, November 6th, 2022, is International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:9, this year’s IDOP theme is Not Abandoned. The countries that we will be particularly focused on praying for this year are Afghanistan and Nigeria.
This year, the need for prayer seems even more urgent as we witness the challenges faced by Afghani Christians, along with millions of other Christians around the world. The stories we’re receiving daily from our brothers and sisters living where faith costs the most are clear: your prayers make a difference, helping them stay as a light in the darkness in the toughest places.

The work of Open Doors Canada, and the stories of the people they serve, have deeply impacted me as a follower of Jesus. It is my prayer that the Canadian church will stand strong with persecuted believers from across the globe.
