Tonight at revive (mid-week prayer at
re:generation church) we read about and prayed for different churches and
Christians that are being persecuted around the world. I picked up a leaflet
about The World Watch List and just knew I had to share.
The World
Watch List (WWL) is a
ranking of 50 countries where persecution of Christians for religious
reasons is worst. First of all, the list covers persecution of
Christians of all denominations in the entire country. The focus is
on persecution for their faith, not persecution for
political, economic, social, ethnic or accidental reasons.
Open Doors is a Christian organization that works in the world’s most
oppressive countries, strengthening Christians to stand strong in the face of
persecution and equipping them to shine Christ’s light in these dark places.
You
can also make a huge impact for persecuted Christians!
Open Doors have set up a challenge to help you to make a difference where you
can! The 5-5-5 Challenge is a three part challenge designed to inspire
prayer, awareness, and financial support to impact the lives of persecuted
Christians around the world.
1.) 5
Minute Challenge: Set
aside 5 minutes (or more) a week to pray for the country of the week on our
website.
2.) 5 Friend
Challenge: Share this
challenge with 5 friends on your social networks and get them involved.
3.) 5 Dollar
Challenge: Give $5 a month
(or more) to make a deeper impact for suffering persecuted Christians.
You can also pray for the work of Open Doors,
donate to their cause, or travel with
them to do mission work.
Whatever you are able to do, please do it as
soon as possible to make the biggest impact!
Blessings!
