5. CANADA:
•In most provinces, Churches have been locked
down, not allowed to worship in person again
due to covid
•The government in the last few years has been
trying to further restrict what the Church is
allowed to teach
•How can we as a church in Canada rise up like
the Persecuted Church world wide?
•What can we learn from the persecuted church
that has been in lockdown and restricted for
many years?

6. You can take away my freedom, but you can’t
take my prayers.
My prayers have wings and leap over the iron
mesh high wall.
Many brothers and sisters have heard them.
And they fly freely every day and reach heaven
on the blue sky.
You can impose heavy punishments on me, but
you can’t hold my soul and spirit.
They are like cheerful yellowbirds, raising gentle
praises toward the iron gate.
My Saviour must have heard my voice.
