Children’s Prayer Sheet

It’s not only adults who can pray for our persecuted family. Every month we produce a prayer sheet aimed specifically for children. Each sheet has specific activities and prayers which will help children learn more about how persecution affects children in other countries. You can visit our Children’s Prayer Sheet page here.

Indonesia

Local officials in Indonesia have denied a congregation the right to build a place of worship near Jakarta, even though they own the land. Pray for tenacity and wisdom as the church appeals this decision.

Indonesia

Pray for Christians on Java Island in Indonesia, whose plans to build a new Maranatha Church are being opposed by officials and Islamist organisations. Many church planning applications take decades to process.

Indonesia

Ask God to protect Indonesian Christians in West Java and Aceh, where extremist groups have a strong influence on society and politics.\

Indonesia

The rise of Islamist extremism in Indonesia has encouraged violence against Christians, including suicide bombings targeting churches. Pray that moderate Muslims will stand against intolerance and that extremism will only make people more open to the gospel of Jesus.

Ukraine

Pray for wisdom for church leaders in occupied parts of Ukraine as they face unreasonable demands from governing authorities. Pray that their witness will cause their oppressors to want to know more about Jesus.

Ukraine

Pray for Christians in Melitopol, Ukraine where three churches have been forcibly shut by Russian troops recently: Grace Baptist Church, Melitopol Christian Church and Word of Life Church.

Ukraine

In Ukraine, the Russian military expelled Christians from their church and rehabilitation centre in Manhush, near Mariupol, in June. Pray that this congregation will continue to enjoy strong fellowship.
