Each time= , it=E2=80=99s like a preview of how the Bible describes heaven in Revelati= on 7:9-10: =E2=80=9Ca great multitude that no one could number, from every = nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the thro= ne and before the Lamb =E2=80=A6 and crying out with a loud voice.=E2=80=9D= =C2=A0 =C2=A0 It's an honor to worship God with them! =C2=A0 But many followers of Jesus don=E2=80=99t have the opportunity to =E2=80=9C= cry out in a loud voice.=E2=80=9D You and I can declare =E2=80=9CLord, I ne= ed you=E2=80=9D at the top of our lungs, but for millions of Christians, th= at=E2=80=99s not an option. =C2=A0 That=E2=80=99s because they=E2=80=99re persecuted and discriminated against= for their faith. According to my friends at Open Doors, more than 365 mill= ion Christians suffer persecution and/or discrimination for their faith [ht= tps://www.opendoorsus.org/en-US/persecution/countries/]. That=E2=80=99s mor= e than 1 in 7 Christians, worldwide, oppressed, pressured or attacked, just= because they follow Jesus. =C2=A0 I know the problem seems huge. It is huge. I want to do something about it.= And I wonder: =C2=A0 Will you join me? =C2=A0 Lately, the crushing reality of Christian persecution has driven me to my k= nees, which is what I think God probably has in mind. We might not be able = change how a neighborhood, culture or country treats its people.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 But we can pray.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Over the next few months, I=E2=80=99ll be sending you a weekly prayer email= . Each one will give you ways to pray for persecuted Christians living in a= particular country. You=E2=80=99ll learn a little about their situation, b= ut even more, you=E2=80=99ll see how God is at work, even in the hardest ci= rcumstances.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 In the Lord=E2=80=99s Prayer, Jesus asks, =E2=80=9CFather, let Your Kingdom= come.=E2=80=9D That=E2=80=99s all we need to do: Ask God to give His peopl= e a glimpse of His Kingdom, even as they suffer. When that happens, they=E2= =80=99ll be encouraged, and strengthened to go on. They=E2=80=99ll know the= y aren=E2=80=99t alone=E2=80=94and through our prayers, they can join us in= a glimpse of the day when we=E2=80=99ll all sing out around God=E2=80=99s = throne, together.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 In Jesus' name, Matt Maher =C2=A0 =C2=A0 This email was sent by Open Doors US through a partnership betwen Open Door= s US=C2=A0and Matt Maher.
