Persecuted Church | Hope Church Augusta

Join Us Weekly as We Pray for the Persecuted Church.

Every Sunday we highlight a persecuted country to pray for. These countries are presented in order of their persecution ranking. The #1 country listed has the highest level of persecution among Christians throughout the world. Each country that follows progressively decreases in the level of persecution among Christians. Once a country has been highlighted on a Sunday, its profile will become available (below) and will remain available for the remainder of the year.
