Suffering Church Action and Awareness Week 2020
Be a part of Suffering Church Action and Awareness Week (SCAAW) as we stand with our suffering family in looking to our bright hope in Christ amid global crises.
Locusts, coronavirus and devastating floods swept the globe in 2020, adding immeasurably to the suffering of persecuted Christians. Before these disasters, so many of our brothers and sisters were already marginalised, violently attacked, kidnapped, raped and even killed simply because they are Christians.
Hope in Suffering focuses on the courage and resilience of the persecuted Church. Through our suffering family, be inspired to find strength today in the face of pressures and struggles, as we look to the bright hope Jesus promises us for tomorrow. Join with us to lift up our persecuted brothers and sisters in prayer, take practical action to help them, as well as raise awareness of their plight.
Suffering Church Action and Awareness Week is an opportunity for us to stand alongside our suffering brothers and sisters, in every corner of the globe, and demonstrate Christ’s love to each one of them, whatever they are facing.
