Remember prisoners as if you were in prison with them & people who are mistreated as if you were in their place.
Remember prisoners as if you were in prison with them & people who are mistreated as if you were in their place.
Hebrews 13:3
On June 23, 2024, join believers across Canada for a day of prayer for Christian captives in places where faith costs the most.
Across the world many of our brothers and sisters are being imprisoned or held captive for their faith in Jesus.
According to the Open Doors 2022 World Watch List research, last year 6,175 Christians were detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned because of their faith. Another 3,829 Christians were abducted. And these are just the cases we know about.
The One With Them Campaign from Open Doors Canada encourages us to pause, remember and pray for our brothers and sisters who are in captivity because they choose to follow Jesus. Join us, and add your voice to thousands of Canadians marking One With Them: A day for Christian captives.
During the month of June, Open Doors Canada will be sharing stories, prayer requests and hosting a special online event – all focused on Christian captives. All of this will culminate on One With Them Sunday when we will stand united in prayer for our brothers and sisters who share our faith but not our freedom.
