You’re warmly invited this November, for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP), to stand with the persecuted church in a dedicated 12 hours of prayer.
Hosted at the Open Doors UK & Ireland headquarters, this unique gathering brings supporters together at the place where daily prayers and advocacy for our persecuted brothers and sisters begin.
Come for an hour or stay all day – and if you can’t travel, join our online evening prayer session.

“Whenever you pray for us, know that a new flame of hope is kindled in our hearts.
In a world that often forgets us, just knowing that someone, somewhere, is praying with a bright heart for us means that we are seen.”
– Khada*, undercover believer in Afghanistan
