CHURCH RESOURCES
The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 12 that we are all part of one body – the Body of Christ.
He says in verse 26, “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it.” So when we hear of Christians being attacked or persecuted elsewhere in the world, it is not happening to ‘others’ – it’s happening to us.
Here you will find a range of resources to enable churches in Canada to support and encourage the persecuted church by praying for them, giving, and speaking out on their behalf.
Pause is our new initiative. Pause is geared towards helping churches across Canada connect regularly with their persecuted family around the world. It is intended to be a pause from our regular Sunday morning programs once a month to remember our persecuted family and lift them up in prayer.
Every month, a new toolkit will be available for churches to download for free! The toolkit will include a video story, prayer points and graphics to be used by your church or adapted in whatever way works best for your church.
Pause takes no more than 5 minutes but can have an eternal impact
