Shockwave 2013: Unite in prayer for the persecuted church - 18 Jan 2013

Believers imprisoned, pastors abused, and bibles burnt in their thousands….
 

How did a great revival take place under such severe persecution?
 

At the time, reports from China said there was one thing that stood out. It was the amount of time these believers spent in prayer - but they weren't praying for their own suffering, they were praying that revival would come to China…
 

This is where the Revival started, in prayer"

Inspired by the revival story of China (the BBC recently reported more Chinese go to church on a Sunday than in the whole of Europe), Open Doors are organising a weekend of prayer (1-3 March) for the persecuted church, known as SHOCKWAVE.

The heart behind SHOCKWAVE is to mobilise believers from all over the world to join together in prayer for believers who share our faith but not our freedom.

You can add your voice to the movement, and find all the details, by visiting the SHOCKWAVE website.

"You see, one of the greatest revivals in the history of the world was built on prayer.
 

What if this revival has only just begun…"
