  • Primary Text
    Revelation 2:8-11
Listen to the Audio Version:

The Suffering Church

We’d be remiss if we were to dismiss suffering.

We as the Church today would be remiss if we were to dismiss suffering – after all, it is promised to us. As Capital Church, we are thankful to live in a place where we are free to worship together and don’t face harsh persecution for our faith as many of our brothers and sisters do around the world. Join us and pray for the next 50 days for the 50 countries where Christians are most persecuted.

Pray for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to be strong and find hope through Christ. Pray for the government to see the light and be challenged to care for all people, including Christians. Pray for the non-believers to come and know the Lord. Pray that the Lord transforms suffering and persecution towards his children to become the catalyst that leads to revival.
