AROUND THE WORLD

The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP) will be held 12 November 2006. Some countries will pray one Sunday earlier or one Sunday later but 12 November is the most common day for IDOP in the world, says Johan Candelin, IDOP global coordinator. IDOP has become the biggest one-day prayer event in the world and this year it is estimated that Christians in more than 130 nations will pray not only for the persecuted Church, but with the persecuted Church.
