International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

November 3, 2024 is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. This is an opportunity for us to stand with the suffering church; to pray for them, strengthen them, advocate for them, resource them, and be part of the wonderful testimony of God’s work in countries like Iran.

In our own team, we have many who have been imprisoned, tortured and threatened. They all attest to the supernatural love of Christ strengthening them.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:10

Salvation – for hundreds of thousands more to hear the message of the gospel and be saved
Government – justice in government; end to corruption; miraculous conversions and encounters with God for those in leadership
Women – healing and an understanding of their God-given worth; protection for those in vulnerable situations; salvation for the lost
Children – protection from all evil that surrounds them and sufficient provision for their health and well-being, mentally and physically and spiritually
Street/Working Children – loving homes, education, food and hope for the hundreds of thousands of working children
Youth – 20 million young people in Iran (16-26 year-olds, including more than 3 million college/university students), with millions suffering from the lack of meaningful employment, drug addiction and the curse of legal prostitution through temporary marriages; pray against these holds on the youth of Iran
Men – godly men to rise up; men to find their identity in Christ and to defend the cause of the voiceless
Education – that children will learn a wholesome curriculum and the teenagers will gain fair access to higher education; pray for redemption across what is currently being taught to children in Iran
Employment – provision of jobs for the hundreds of thousands of annual graduates (unemployment rates are high), for fair work and opportunities for women, for an end to harassment at work for women
Economy – people of integrity to gain positions of influence and for the economy to recover; for the impact of sanctions on regular working class people to be diminished; for the end of corruption
Addiction – 4.4 million drug addicts in Iran find healing in Jesus Christ; for Transform Iran’s ministry to these people to be fruitful
Prostitution and temporary marriage – protection and healing for the vulnerable, including the 1 million women forced into prostitution, and the many more abused through Iran’s ‘temporary marriage’ laws allows men to ‘marry’ women and young girls for even just a few hours
Peace – God’s mercy and intervention to prevent ungodly uprisings; for Iran to be transformed and become a beacon of light and peace in that whole region
Ethnic groups – for the dozens of ethnic groups in Iran who do not have the Bible in their heart language to gain access to the Word in their language through the ongoing Bible translation projects and for the Church to be established and rooted in these communities as they worship and learn in their own languages

Protection – wisdom in decision making for underground leaders and supernatural covering as they witness and disciple young Christians
Faith and courage – an increase in faith and boldness in believers as they share their faith with others
Underground Churches – new churches established, all churches to become spirit filled communities, protection from the infiltration of spies, wisdom and discernment
Prisoners – peace for those in prison, protection from further harm, protection and provision for their families, and quick release; for many to be impacted by the gospel in prison through their witness
Ethnic believers – Churches to be planted in the heart languages of all the peoples of Iran, believers in these communities to be strengthened and encouraged and empowered to share with others and see the gospel advance
Prayer – the body of Christ to be rooted in prayer; for Transform Iran’s Meeting Tent online prayer community to continue to help create a culture of prayer
Media ministry – for the evangelism and discipleship materials we share via TV, radio, social media and Internet to find good soil and for the Church to be strengthened and advance as a result
Leaders – for more godly spirit-filled leaders to be developed and resourced so they can join the mission to see Iran transformed
Holy Spirit leading – for miraculous leading to those in need so that the gospel can be taken to more and more who are crying out for it in silence
Refugees – those struggling to find legal status in countries outside Iran to have their papers approved so that they can begin to rebuild lives after escape from persecution; for opportunity to work and study for these families; for medical needs to be met (hugely expensive and prohibitive for refugee families)
Workers – the harvest is great! For workers to be added with the right skills and pure hearts so that the work of God can continue to grow as we reach Iran for Christ
Funds – for the necessary resources to fund the mission to see Iran transformed by the love and power of Christ
