Last Sunday was an important day.
On Solidarity Sunday over 700 churches united to pray for and raise awareness about global persecution.
As part of the campaign to raise awareness, churches of all denominations, shapes and sizes have been posting photos like the one above from Nowra City Church.
Of course we don’t stop praying for the persecuted just because Solidarity Sunday is over.
Please keep our brothers and sisters in your prayers as they make a stand for Christ.
Blessings

Roger spoke with ACL’s Daniel Simon after the conference. In Part 3 of this interview, Roger talks about the legal arguments ADF uses as it defends religious freedom, and also about Christian history and culture, still so prominent in Europe and the West.
