Please pray:

• for persecuted Christians who suffer greatly for their steadfast commitment to Jesus Christ. The first Sunday of November is set aside globally to lift up a concert of prayer for these dear brothers and sisters. It is estimated that more than 360 million Christians are persecuted worldwide for their faith, and many live in Muslim majority nations. As you lift up the persecuted Church, please intercede for the persecutors as well.

• for Christian workers in the Middle East who find themselves navigating difficult conversations with both fellow believers and Muslims in light of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian war. Pray that their words will be “seasoned with salt” as they continue to build the Lord’s Kingdom in difficult contexts (Colossians 4:6).

• that Muslim women everywhere would begin to understand their value in the eyes of God, their Creator, and that they would feel beautifully embraced in their search for Truth.
