Living Stones invites you to join us and hundreds of other churches on Sunday, November 2, 2025, as we pray for the Christian Believers who make up the Persecuted Church. You will find resources on this page to help you pray for our brothers and sisters who live in countries or are surrounded by communities that are hostile to Christianity.

Praying for Persecuted Believers is vital... they need our prayers, and to know that they're not forgotten.
The International Day of Prayer is a perfect opportunity to lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ so that they remain steadfast in their faith; that their faith will be strong, because our great God is with them and sees them in their suffering.
You may share this 2024 video with your church, organization, or small group to educate and inform others about the persecuted Believers and how we can pray for them.
Our 2025 IDoP video is in production at the moment. We appreciate your interest in IDoP!
What to pray for?
Sometimes it feels overwhelming, all of the prayer needs of the persecuted around the world. But know this: God hears us and He's working through our prayers to accomplish His purpose for His persecuted children.
