PRAYER FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
throughout the month of November
Dear Intercessors,
Please continue to pray with us this month as we join Christians around the world in global prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters who boldly witness for Christ at any cost.
Lord of Glory, King of Kings, Mighty God, Lover of our Souls,
Your children are suffering terribly today all over the world for following Jesus. You see every single wound given verbally and physically. You hear every heart cry for help. And You are present in every situation bringing comfort and deliverance. Strengthen Your servants so they can bear up under their sorrow. May their persecutors who are walking in darkness be confronted by the brightness of Your light shining through those who suffer in Your name. May we all remain faithful to pay any price to follow You fully. We pray this in the Name Above All Names, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Blessings,
World Mission Committee |

GLOBAL PARTNERS
Malawi from Bishop Fanuel:
- Thank you very much for the best wishes in this 12th Anniversary of my episcopal ministry. It has been an exciting moment of joy and happiness as I have been able to see what the Lord is doing for us in Northern Malawi over these years. You all in the Diocese of Fort Worth have been instrumental in making this not a heavy yoke to bear. Your support has sustained us.
- The Youth and Renewal Leadership in the DNM is planning the Annual Youth Meeting on December 11th in Mzuzu. May the Lord pour His blessings and provision upon this gathering. May new leadership be raised up and may the Holy Spirit anoint and empower the youth of the diocese.
- We continue to pray for the radio station to be a tool for evangelization beyond the confine of denomination as we are reaching out to more than Anglican members.
La Gran Familia (LGF) from Director Martin Cordova:
- Father God, you are our source of love and reconciliation. We pray for peace in our world. Teach us to be a human family.
- Come Holy Spirit into the hearts of the people who work with the children, renew their strength and love every morning. May your divine light fill their lives with joy and love.
- Lord Jesus, King of the Universe, we ask you to watch over and bless each family that helps LGF, may your power accompany their days.
- Father God, we pray for the health of Briana, Ester, Carolina, Isaias and Sofia. They are in your hands of love and we trust your goodness.
Myanmar from Bishop David Nyi Nyi Naing in Diocese of Mandalay:
- In 1970 the Anglican Church in Myanmar became an independent Province of the Anglican Communion and now numbers six dioceses and three missionary dioceses. The isolation of Myanmar from 1966 until 1987, its borders were closed and it still quite difficult to reach has meant that the only way that we can express our partnership with the Church is through prayer. Please join us in this endeavor. Now the country is under the Military Coup and people are suffer and the civil war is in every part of the country.
- Please pray for the Province of Myanmar (Burma), Archbishop Stephen Than Myint Oo and the bishops, priests, and people of the Province.
- Pray for the Diocese of Yangon, the Archbishop Stephen Than Myint Oo, the Assistant Bishop Samuel San Myat Shwe, standing committee, department of Man Association, MU(Mother Union) AYPA(Anglican Young People Association) and Education and Religious Education Department( Children Ministry), office staff, priests and people.
