Warm-Up for Sunday: The first Sunday in November is recognized globally as the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. It’s a day meant to heighten our awareness of the persecution going on around the world. We live in a land where persecution is more subtle than many places around the world. So, we don’t hear much about the life-threatening conditions millions of Christians face. However, back in 1996, Chuck Colson, author of over 30 books including his own testimony called, “Born Again,” began an organized movement to help Christians recognize the plight of the persecuted church. Since then, many organizations have been monitoring the persecution and informing the public. This Sunday, you will hear with your own ears detailed information concerning the persecution which the Body of Christ is facing in more than 60 countries around the world.
