Do you know

our suffering?

November 1, 2026

international day of prayer for the persecuted church

Every year, Churches across Canada come together on IDOP Sunday to lift up the persecuted Church. This November 1, we hope your church will join us in prayer for our brothers and sisters who follow Jesus where faith costs the most. 

You can devote your entire Sunday service to the persecuted church using the IDOP toolkit, or you can simply take some time for prayer, or a video – whatever it looks like in your church, thank you for standing together with your persecuted brothers and sisters!

The 2026 IDOP Toolkit

Every year IDOP Canada produces a resource kit to help church groups to pray for persecuted Christians. The kit is released each year in September. It includes:

  • A video that can be shown during your service
  • Sermon outlines
  • Social media graphics and write-ups
  • Children’s Resource
  • And more…

The IDOP resource kit is a valuable tool to help your church connect with there persecuted family around the world.
