Abducted Missionaries in Haiti

Pray for Hong Kong

China has jumped six places from last year’s Open Doors World Watch List of most dangerous countries for Christians to live. In just three years, it has risen 26 places.

Pray for protection, courage, and empowering from the Lord for those who stand for what is right and good, but who are persecuted relentlessly by those who disagree, who have been blinded by the enemy and push his purposes, rather than God’s.

Since a coup seized power from the elected government in Myanmar earlier this year, more than 1000 people have been killed by security forces.
