Today marks the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted church.
The apostle Paul instructed us all to remember our brothers and sisters in Christ that are being persecuted for their firm belief in Jesus when he said:
Hebrews 13:3
"Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."
Most of us living in the "western world" have not been subject to physical persecution... but that will likely change within our lifetime. The Christians located in Islamic countries and China are targeted for unimaginable persecution. Imagine yourself in their situation. Imagine how much you would want Christians to pray for you.
This is a video I made approx. 2 years ago about the persecuted Christians around the world. The statistics are very revealing, and very troubling:
