Persecuted Church around the World: Turkey
Pray for Christians in Turkey where growing government support for Islamists means attacks on believers go unprosecuted. Desecration of the graves of Christians has become common. This is a typical step toward violence against individuals, and their places of worship. Pray for God to strengthen His people in Turkey.

Unreached People Group: Kanuri, Yerwa in Nigeria
With a population of 7,006,000 only 0.01% are Christians, and the majority are Muslims. Pray for God to raise up prayer teams who will begin breaking up the soil through intercession. Pray for the Lord to raise up strong local churches among the Kanuri.

While we cannot gather together, our pastors and staff are regularly praying for you!
You can participate in the Monthly Day of Prayer from your home! The day is divided into 30-minute segments for individuals to sign-up and pray for missionaries and needs of the congregation.You can sign up at
ChristCovenant.org/members/prayer to help us cover the day fully in prayer.
You can also take this time to call a friend to pray with them over the phone. You can send a text or email letting them know you paused in your day to pray for them. Let’s cover this day in prayer!
We also have a monthly prayer guide online that is available for you to use to pray. To download a printable prayer guide, please
