For over 1,600 years, Christians have set aside early November to remember believers who suffered for their faith. This ancient practice reminds us that when one part of the body suffers, we all suffer together (1 Corinthians 12:26).
Today, that tradition continues as the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. On November 2, 2025, congregations worldwide will unite in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Myanmar, where civil war, earthquakes, and targeted persecution have scattered the church. This year, you're not just praying for distant strangers—you're standing with your family.
Here's how you can join:
- Pray personally using our guided prayer points
- Rally your church with free sermon materials and digital resources
- Spread the word through social media and your networks
- Go deeper with background information that helps you pray with understanding
