As easy as we have it in the United States there are Christians all over the world that are suffering for their faith. Many families are hurting today because of a loved one that’s been apprehended and incarcerated, some even killed. As a whole, Christian persecution around the globe is on the increase. It’s been reported that roughly 1 in 7 Christians worldwide are facing persecution. That number is hard to fathom. These are brothers and sisters in Christ whom we will one day meet in heaven.
“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.” — Hebrews 13:3
There’s a special day coming up that’s being emphasized when churches everywhere pray for the persecuted church. It’s called the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.
