Protestant ministers across the country are making global Christian persecution a priority topic in their churches, according to new research from LifeWay Research. The study reveals that an overwhelming 86% of Protestant pastors have specifically asked their congregations to offer prayers for Christians facing persecution in other countries.
The survey data shows that two-thirds of ministers have dedicated entire sermons to addressing the mistreatment and abuse that believers encounter worldwide. Some pastors have gone further by inviting specialists and knowledgeable speakers to educate their congregations about the challenges facing Christians in various nations.
The findings indicate that American Protestant leaders are actively working to raise awareness among their church members about the difficulties their fellow believers face internationally.
