International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church
Arise Africa Prayer Pack
The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP) brings together Christians around the world in support of our persecuted family. This year’s event takes place on 1 November 2026. Will you pray during your church service? Or host a dedicated prayer event? This year, our free Prayer Pack focuses on our Arise Africa campaign and includes everything you need to help your church engage in prayer and stand alongside our persecuted brothers and sisters.
In your free prayer pack
- Instructions for a time of prayer in your church service
- Prayer cards with stories, written prayers (including family-friendly versions) and prayer requests from our African church family
- ‘I’m praying for…’ cards with the names of real, displaced Christians, for people to take home and keep praying. (Use the drop down menu below to request the right number of these cards for your meeting or congregation.)
