Will your church participate in the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted Church worldwide on November 21st?
>From the days when our Church fathers defended our faith (see the article below: Candles for the Lord), to today when many risk their lives to share the Gospel (Sharing Good News About Jesus), our brothers and sisters in the Lord are experiencing persecution. From now until November 21st, Christianity.ca will spotlight stories that shed light on persecution of the Church (Standing Strong in the Storm) and how we might pray for the persecuted. Let's pray for them. They need our prayers. There may come a day when we need theirs.
See also how the government is closing doors for Christians to welcome new Canadian citizens to the country (Sharing the Truth That Makes Men Free) and commentary on these developments (The Bible and the Bureaucracy).

Blessings in Christ,
