The Voice of the Martyrs
When we become aware of other Christians in need of prayer…we need to pray. The Voice of the Martyrs sends out weekly prayer requests for persecuted believers in many countries. This website puts one of those prayer requests on from time to time. If you would like to check into the website of The Voice of the Martyrs: www.persecution.com
Although this devotional is a few days past the International Day of Prayer…it is never too late to pray…
Pray for the Persecuted Nov. 14
Churches across the United States and around the world are preparing to “remember those in bonds” on Nov. 14, the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP). Begun in 1996, IDOP is a day of intercessory prayer and citizen action on behalf of persecuted Christian communities worldwide. Encourage your churches and prayer groups to intercede for persecuted believers around the world.
(NASB) “Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.”

PAKISTAN — Asia Bibi Sentenced to Death — VOM Contacts
On Nov. 8, Asia Bibi was sentenced to death by a judge in Pakistan, according to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts. The judge also fined Asia $1,190 (U.S.) and told her she had seven days to appeal the decision. VOM contacts said Asia’s attorney does plan to appeal the sentence. Pray for Asia and her family during this difficult time. Pray that God will turn the heart of the judge in his hand and that Asia’s appeal will be successful. Pray that Christians in Pakistan will continue to stand for Christ.
“THE KING’S heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord.
He turns it wherever He wishes.”
