Teaching Kids to Pray for Persecuted Christians

By Peter Demos Published on July 9, 2025

Can we teach kids about global persecution—without fear—through prayer?

In this 30-minute episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US, introduces the powerful Children’s Prayer Passport — a creative, age-appropriate tool helping families connect with persecuted Christians around the world. Brown shares why persecution isn’t just a distant issue — it’s central to the New Testament and to our understanding of faith today. Discover how stories, maps, and coloring flags can equip children to pray boldly, learn geography and strengthen their spiritual worldview. This isn’t about scaring kids—it’s about shaping them to care, pray and live faithfully in a world that often opposes the Gospel.
