Supporting Religious Freedom in Prayer

Prayer

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him,
he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
- ADF theme verse, John 15:5

The Alliance Defense Fund depends on the prayerful support of Christians like you to achieve victory in the battle for religious freedom. Please join us in praying for these specific requests and thanking God for the victories He’s provided.
