The Persecuted Church

Our church has long supported the enormous needs of the Persecuted Church around the world through prayer and finance.

Our financial support is currently channelled via the valuable ministries of Open Doors, Christian Solidarity Worldwide and Barnabas Fund.

On 16 May, 2008, we met for a special Prayer Supper. Our dear friend, Tony Curtis, who works on behalf of the Persecuted Church with Advocacy for Persecuted Christians, met with us as we spent time in prayer and intercession for the needs of our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.

We then shared food representing some of the many countries of the world where Christians are persecuted for their faith. The Picture Gallery records that memorable evening.

A big thank you to our Open Doors church rep, Glenys, for organising this evening and to the ladies of our church for all their hard work on the cooking front.

Everyone agreed that it was a very worthwhile evening.

Tony Curtis and his wife, Margaret, joined with us on Sunday, 26 April, 2009. We were reminded that when Christians are persecuted they spread the fragrance of Christ.

Our Picture Gallery includes some photos of Tony and Margaret's visit to us on 26 April.

Please pray regularly for our persecuted brothers and sisters and for Tony and Margaret Curtis who work tirelessly on their behalf.

There are 11 photos for this gallery.
