This event marks the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, a moment to stand in solidarity with believers across the globe who face hardship, persecution, and danger for their faith. We’ll hear directly from Elim Missionaries, Global Partners, and those serving in regions of intense persecution — voices that remind us of the courage and faithfulness of the global church. Whether you join us online on our YouTube channel or in person at Cardiff City Church, this is an opportunity to lift up the names, stories, and situations of those who may never have been brought before God in prayer. Let’s come together as one church, across nations, to pray bold prayers — not for ease, but for strength, healing, and the power of God to be revealed. Here's a look at our 2025 event.
