Prison cells and rooms where Christians are locked away can often be places filled with fear, hopelessness, trauma and uncertainty. But our prayers can go where we cannot. When Peter was imprisoned, the Bible tell us that the church earnestly prayed for him. And that made all the difference. So let’s fill their cells instead with words of encouragement, hope and faith.

At the Open Doors office, we have set up a 4×4 foot cell. We want to fill this cell with prayers, believing that as this cell is filled with our prayers, they will also fill the rooms of our captive brothers and sisters. This cell serves as a symbol, but our prayers are anything but because even though we are filling the cell as a gesture, our prayers are very real and powerful!

Would you write a short prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters imprisoned or held captive for their faith and add it to the cell?

You can submit your prayer using the form below and we’ll add it to a card and hang in in the cell.
