Voice of the Martyrs is asking that we pray tomorrow for those segments of the Body of Christ that are currently under heavy persecution. If you've ever read any of their material you know that the situation is really bad in other countries these days. What we read of in Foxe's Book of Martyrs has never stopped.
Please pass the word around to your church and friends to spend extra time in prayer tomorrow, and also to daily remember those who are being tortured on a continual basis for Christ.

Their regular website tells of many instances of modern persecution of Christians:
Before it is all over, those of us in "free" countries may face the same kinds of torture and persecution. I believe that God will put it in the hearts of other Christians to pray for us when that time comes.
