Dear all
For the past couple of years, on the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted church, we have done a 24-hour prayer rota, which has been well-supported.
This year, with a focus on Nigeria, Release International has asked we pray throughout this month. If you could pray over Nigeria (and of course other countries suffering persecution of faith) for just 5 minutes a day each day for the next couple of weeks, you will have prayed a total of an hour!
to keep it simple, below are links to a couple of videos - one as a brief introduction to IDOP and another that contains interviews revealing the growth of persecution in Nigeria.
Short introductory video (1 min 12 secs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=aaFtKlyWa6I
6 min video on increasing persecution in Nigeria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsOQ5KH907I
Also attached is a 4-slide powerpoint, which can be viewed without having powerpoint installed. This gives prayer points and information on persecution in Nigeria.
As always, your support is greatly appreciated and as we all know, the power of prayer is beyond any doubt.
