Women who choose to follow Jesus in many parts of the world often face persecution behind closed doors - rejection from family, forced marriage, abuse, isolation, and pressure to abandon their faith. Some are even confined to their homes or treated as mentally ill because of their decision to follow Christ.
As we work to equip leaders in some of the hardest and least-reached places in the world, we also want to intentionally invest in women leaders. The Church needs women courageously living out the gospel and working together collaboratively in their communities.
Please pray for women facing persecution today:
-for protection and endurance
-for encouragement and community
-for bold faith in difficult circumstances
-and for more women to be equipped to lead and make Christ known
“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” (Psalm 9:9)
