Remember
In the book of Hebrews we read,
“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Hebrews 13:3.
We who live in the western democracies quite often forget our brothers and sisters who a being persecuted around the world.
According to a United Kingdom house of commons report in 2023, 365 million Christians are “subject to high levels of persecution and discrimination this compared to 340 million in 2021.
That is 1in 7 Christians are persecuted, worldwide, including 1 in 5 in Africa and 1 in 7 in Asia in 2023, compared to 1in 8 world wide in 2021.
As believers world wide we have an option at the very least to pray for our brothers and sisters around the world. At the same time we should consider helping support organizations that are helping the persecuted such as Open Doors Canada and Global Christian relief in the United States.
If you consider yourself a true follower of Christ Jesus, do you at least pray for the persecuted and imprisoned Christians around the world?
Please don’t just think about praying for those being persecuted and imprisoned PRAY for them.
