Pray for Formerly Persecuted Christians Now Supporting Other Believers

[246] prayers in [17] nations have been posted for Formerly Persecuted Christians.

Christians in Ukraine who once faced persecution by their own government and the Communist Party are now reaching out to other persecuted believers. VOM’s sister organization in Ukraine publishes materials in the Russian language and receives many requests for newsletters and other materials that share the stories of Christians who are persecuted for their faith. One reader in Ukraine said the materials had helped her realize “there are also modern day heroes of the faith, like the ones I read about in books of martyrs.” She added that the material from VOM sources had helped her understand the importance of prayer for the persecuted church. Please pray for these formerly persecuted Christians who now want to help support other persecuted believers.
