A Christian captive is a person who is being held captive for their faith in Jesus Christ. They might be a prisoner in a jail or a believer who was abducted by an extremist group. They could be a young woman who was abducted and forced to marry her abductor. There are thousands of Christian captives in our world today.

The One With Them prayer pledge is a commitment to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters who held captive for their faith in Jesus Christ. By taking the pledge, you will add your name to the thousands of Canadians committed to praying for our persecuted family in June. As a thank you, we’ll send you a free One With Them devotional that contains stories of Christian captives, reflection questions, and more.

Click here and fill out the prayer pledge form. When you fill out the form, you will receive a One With Them bracelet to remind you to pray for our brothers and sisters who are held captive for their faith.

Both! In the toolkit, you’ll find resources for church services, including videos, social media graphics, sermon outlines, and more. While many of the resources are intended for church use, there are plenty of resources for small groups or individuals. We encourage you to download the toolkit for yourself and share them with your church leadership team. You can get the toolkit here. 

Absolutely. The most important thing is to pray—whether that is on June 25 or another date, please join Christians across Canada in prayer for Christian captives.

Yes, Open Doors Canada can speak at your church either virtually or in person (depending on your location and date). Sermon ideas and outlines are also available within the toolkit if your Pastor would like Biblical references to write their sermon on the topic. If you’d like an Open Doors speaker at your service, please contact us at christellea@odcan.org.

There are printable prayer cards available for several Christian captives. You can find those here.
