Do the true headlines above take you by surprise? Are you aware that
Christians around the world are being persecuted daily for their faith in
Jesus Christ? Do you know that when asked about their greatest need they say
it’s prayer for them to be strong in their faith and to be good witnesses
for Jesus Christ no matter the circumstances?
Center Barnstead Christian Church has set aside this Sunday, January 4,
2009, to pray for Christians around the world living daily under the threat
of persecution. These believers risk discrimination, imprisonment and even
death because of their active witness for Jesus Christ. Scripture instructs
us to remember those in bonds as though we were bound with them. (Hebrews
13:3) This special day of prayer and remembrance is one of the ways we do
that. We also encourage prayer for the souls of the oppressors, the nations
that promote persecution, and those who ignore it.
Our hope is that this day of prayer will encourage people to be active all
year long in prayer and support for our persecuted brothers and sisters. You
are invited to join us as we pray for continued boldness and courage for
believers as they share the gospel and for hearts to be softened to the
truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will only be having one service this
Sunday beginning at 9:30 AM. Center Barnstead Christian Church is located
next to Barnstead’s Town Hall on Route 126.
