STAND WITH THE PERSECUTED CHURCH

Today is Stand with the Persecuted Sunday.  We are called to remember fellow believers who are imprisoned or otherwise mistreated because of their faith.  Each day, 322 Christians are martyred, 214 churches and Christian properties are destroyed, and 722 acts of violence are committed against Christians.  Iraq, Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan, North Korea, Nigeria, and Somalia are among the nations most affected.
