"How to PRAY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH" CCCI

"Since Jesus laid down His life, 43 million Christians have become martyrs.

Right now 200 million people face persecution for believing in Jesus and 60% of those people are children, according to Christians in Crisis International Ministry, a prayer advocacy ministry for persecuted believers." (go here to read more from Campus Crusade for Christ International)

John 15:18- 16:4

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. ...

Hebrew 13:3

"Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."

PRAYER PETITIONS LIFTED TO HIS THRONE

"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken"

Ecclesiastes 4:12

[source]

"For where two or three come together in my name,

there am I with them."

Matthew 18:20

This is meant to be an interactive blog based on a comment and response system. 

PLEASE WRITE YOUR PRAYER, PRAYER REQUEST, PRAISE, THANKS in the place that would normally read comments after the most recent post, here it will read 

"PRAYERS LIFTED TO THE THRONE of GOD."

We'd love to see your Prayer requests (Petitions) in what normally would be the comment area, where others will be supporting you through their prayers, written as a response to your petition there. 

We are encouraging you all to pray whenever you read a need of someone, so please respond here with a prayer. You need not be a team member to leave a prayer for someone or bring a prayer need here. We all can lift up a prayer for each person and encourage someone, help to carry another's burden, stand with them and bless them.

The Linky asks for a blog link (BUT you need not fill that in if you don't have a blog or the person that you are requesting prayers for does not). The intention of this is so the people will go "visit" the person to encourage them or find out more about the situation. Thank you for sharing people that you find need prayer. 


You may add REQUESTS on Linky (if there is one working) or in the comments if not... but remember NO COMMENTS ~  ONLY PRAYERS please. Thank you for lifting one another in prayer. God bless you as you pray. May His Holy Spirit fill you as you stand in the gap
