Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem

www.daytopray.com

The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is held on the first Sunday of every October with a call for sustained, fervent, informed and global intercession for the plans and purposes of God for Jerusalem and all her people. This worldwide grassroots prayer initiative coincides with the season of Yom Kippur, recognizing the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. It has been instituted with the endorsement of Christian leaders of all denominations and differing politics from around the world.
These Christian Leaders recognize that Scripture consistently and repeatedly calls us to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and the current tragedy, bloodshed, and loss of life in both sides of this conflict warrant at least one day of unified intercession from the worldwide Church for this strategic spiritual location. Over 72 nations participated in representing tens of millions of Christians in united prayer during its first international observance, and each year, the number grows.

The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church
November 9, 2007
www.persecutedchurch.org

The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP) is a global day of intercession for persecuted Christians worldwide. Its primary focus is the work of intercessory prayer and citizen action on behalf of persecuted communities of the Christian faith. We also encourage prayer for the souls of the oppressors, the nations that promote persecution, and those who ignore it.
We believe that prayer changes things. Exactly what happens is a mystery of faith. God invites us to present to Him our requests and to pray without ceasing. Persecuted Christians often plead for prayer to help them endure. The most we can do is the least we can do: pray.
