International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.
Typically, a Sunday in November is established for churches to pray for Christians who have been tortured for their faith in Christ. This year the actual designated day of remembrance is November 3, but often churches will dedicate the whole month to remember those who have been persecuted and ponder how we may be involved in changing this problem. Hebrews 13:3: Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

國際禱告日-為受逼迫的教會禱告: 通常，教會在11月會指定一個主日為基督信仰而遭受磨難的基督教會禱告. 今年的國際禱告日為11月3日，但教會常常在整個11月都用於紀念受迫害的肢體，回應我們應當怎樣感同身受地改變這個狀態。希伯來書13:3：你們要記念被捆綁的人，好像與他們同受捆綁；也要記念遭苦害的人，想到自己也在肉身之內。
