Day of Prayer for the Persecuted ChurchThe Phantom Intercessor - 29 Oct 2012

Christians across the world will unite on Thursday 1 November as part of a day of prayer for the persecuted Church organised by Barnabas Fund.

Barnabas Fund is encouraging Christians to make time during that day to pray either individually or with others. Prayer groups are forming around the globe, from Malawi to Malaysia, Romania to Bangladesh, and the Caribbean to the Philippines.

Those organising prayer gatherings can post their event on an interactive map on the Barnabas Fund website and provide more information if others are welcome to attend.
A free prayer guide, which focuses on 48 countries in 30-minute slots, is available to order now.

Dr Patrick Sookhdeo, International Director of Barnabas Fund, said:

In many parts of the world, Christians live with the constant threat of discrimination, violence and other forms of persecution. As part of our Proclaim Freedom campaign, we are inviting Christians everywhere to join us for 24 hours dedicated to interceding for our suffering brothers and sisters. Please commit to devoting whatever time you can during that day to uphold them in prayer.
