Throughout the World
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20)
Do you feel a tug on your heart to share the good news of Jesus? Each of us has an important, God-given role to play.

A prayer for the persecuted...Dear Lord, I know that your son Jesus suffered mightily in the flesh. You weep for those persecuted because of their love for him. Give them strength and courage this day to stand up for your truth. Give sustenance to the loved ones of those killed or imprisoned. Strengthen those who are intimidated. Let your gospel of love shine even in the darkest night. Enable those persecuted to forgive as you also forgave those who murdered your son. Amen
