Christians around the globe are praying specifically for persecuted Christians as we commemorate the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP). We will honor this special day as we talk about specific ways to pray for persecuted believers and pray together this week on VOM Radio.

Host Todd Nettleton will share a story from Petr Jasek’s time imprisoned in Sudan that shows the real, practical difference our prayers make for those facing persecution for Christ.

And we’ll pray together, led by Christian leaders from around the nation:

• Pastor Craig Groeschel from Life.Church
• Ed Stetzer, author, radio host, professor and executive director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center
• Michael Tait, lead singer of The Newsboys
• Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
• Greg Mundis, executive director of Assemblies of God World Missions
• Priscilla Shirer, author and speaker with Going Beyond Ministries

VOM has created resources to help you, your family and your church pray for persecuted Christians—on IDOP Sunday and throughout the year. You can download resources here. If you haven’t already, sign up to receive new prayer requests by email each week at www.iCommitToPray.com.
