{NAME}, âWhen I go to school, I see some of my [classmates] on the way. They mock me, calling me âChristian.â Sometimes they throw bricks at me and push me, but I still go to school.ââMoryom in Bangladesh These words from Moryom (pictured, left) are hard to hear. Theyâre even more difficult knowing they come from a 9-year-old girl. I wish I could tell you that Moryomâs experience is unusual. But the reality is that every day, millions of children throughout the world encounter situations like this because they and their families are Christians. They are the littlestâand most vulnerableâvoices of persecution. As Godâs people who are called to care for the most vulnerable, we have a responsibility to pray for young believers like Moryomâespecially as they approach the holidays. Christmas can be a time when children are particularly vulnerable and can feel especially isolated from their communities. Thatâs why weâre sharing 20 prayers for persecuted children and their families: [How to pray for persecuted families]( We hope youâll commit to praying with us each day and inviting others to pray these prayers with you. Throughout the world, children are at risk for their faith âand they are also the future of the Church. Persecutors, especially extremist groups, know that if they can damage families and their children, they can destroy the next generation. Thank you for praying with us ⦠Ryan Brown CEO, Open Doors US P.S. Check out our monthly prayer calendar. Itâs a great way to lift up your persecuted family each day.
