AROUND THE WORLD, millions of Christians are persecuted for their faith every year. And the number is growing.
In China for example, you could be arrested and imprisoned for leading an unregistered "underground" church. Or for just attending your church.
In Pakistan you could be harassed or even murdered by Islamic militants, just for being a follower of Jesus Christ.
In the repressive regime of North Korea, you could be sent to one of the notorious "torture" camps where literally tens of thousands have "disappeared".
That is why Release International is urgently calling on Christians to pray for these and other situations around the world. In 2002 we identified seven countries where Christians face intense persecution, and we are asking Christians to commit themselves to pray for these nations through to 2009.
WE BELIEVE that in God's hands 7x7 will make a real difference, not just for believers and churches who face daily intimidation and repression, but also for the governments and extremists who are behind the persecution in these seven nations.
Please join us and dare to believe that God can act in ways beyond our understanding or imagination.
When you join 7x7 we will keep you up to date by fortnightly email with the latest news and information from the seven countries: China, Indonesia, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan and Vietnam.
