According to the Open Doors World Watch List top 50, one in five Christians are persecuted in Africa. They risk being murdered, imprisoned or having their properties attacked. The Lausanne Persecuted Church Initiative aims to spotlight the persecuted church in hostile contexts with the aim of strengthening its witness for Christ, and propelling the work of global mission forward amidst suffering.
Join us on November 7 and 9 for a time of prayer and learning about the church in hostile contexts, with a particular focus on the EPSA region in Africa.
This gathering will be an opportunity for the global body of Christ to gain awareness of the suffering and hardships faced by our brothers and sisters living in this region of the world for the sake of their faith, and find out how we can serve them.
Please email us to stay connected.
