IDOP 2026 is on November 1, 2026.

IDOP stands for International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Every year, Christians around the world set a day aside for prayer for our sisters and brothers who are persecuted for their faith.

Each year, churches all over Canada unite on IDOP Sunday to pray for the persecuted Church. This November, we’d love for your church to be part of this special day, joining in prayer for our brothers and sisters who are following Jesus in places where faith comes at a great cost.

Whether your church dedicates the entire service to the persecuted church using the IDOP Canada Church Toolkit, or sets aside a moment for prayer or a video, your support makes a difference.

Thank you for standing in solidarity with those who need our prayers the most.

ICR Canada works to support Christians who live in countries hostile to the gospel, through spiritual and material assistance. We strive to equip Christians who have devoted themselves to gospel-centred ministry in areas most difficult to live as a believer. ICR Canada also supports endeavors to advance the kingdom of God on earth by: supporting and catalyzing house church movements as well as planting new churches. We desire to transform persecuted Christians into persevering Christians.
