Children’s Prayer Sheet

It’s not only adults who can pray for our persecuted family. Every month we produce a prayer sheet aimed specifically for children. Each sheet has specific activities and prayers which will help children learn more about how persecution affects children in other countries.

Discover where Christians are facing hardship and persecution simply for what they believe

Explore our interactive globe and discover where persecution is taking place and how we are working to support those at risk and to raise the voice of these persecuted Christians around the world.

The more times people visit and pray for a country the darker red the country appears on the globe.

Green countries represent those countries where Release International is actively supporting work to care for persecuted Christians. Countries coloured gold are ‘countries of interest’, where we are currently monitoring the situation for Christians.

The red flag identifies the country where our latest appeal is based.
