This post is a follow up to the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church that took place across the globe yesterday. The number one request persecuted Christians have is that we would pray for them, and there are ways we can do that on a regular basis (not just once a year or even once a month). There are also other ways that we can support them in their need and also partner with them in their ministries. Below you will find several links that will connect you with these opportunities. Please take a look at these opportunities and consider getting more involved in caring for our persecuted brothers and sisters.
Voice of the Martyrs - Check out the section of the site that says "Get Involved" for a number of ways you can partner with the persecuted church. Also sign up for their free monthly newsletter or weekly prayer updates email.
Open Doors - Another great ministry that keeps us informed and provides opportunities to get involved.
Prisoner Alert - This is where you can write to people imprisoned for their faith as well as advocate for them to government officials (this has had a huge impact in the past and resulted in people being freed).
Text a Bible - We take having access to bibles for granted, but many believers around the world in restricted nations do not even possess a single bible. Help bring God's word to those who long for it.
Support Families of Martyrs - Often when a pastor or evangelist is imprisoned or killed for their activities, their families are left with little means of financial support. This fund is used to help sustain these believers until they an find alternative means of support.
VOM Medical -Often when Christians suffer severe persecution they are in need of urgent health care and quality surgery. I have read many amazing testimonies about the amazing things this ministry has done.
