On November 3, 2024 your church can join believers worldwide to pray for the estimated 200 million Christians facing persecution for their faith.
The annual IDOP event is generally held on the second Sunday of November. Some churches hold it on other dates if more convenient.
A free Canadian resource kit is available each September at www.idop.ca. It includes many updated materials to help you prepare part of a worship service or a small group meeting. Sign up on that website to be alerted when new material for a given year becomes available.
The 2024 kit includes:
1. Two videos: one for church, another for social media
2. Bulletin inserts, Slide graphic, Social media posts, Event poster
3. Sermon themes and scriptures
4. Creative ideas for groups
5. Suggested worship songs/hymns
6. Two activity sheets: one for youth, another for children

Several partner groups organize the International Day of Prayer for Canada each year, including the EFC. See the www.idop.ca/about for the full list.
