The Persecuted Church Sunday (DIP) enters a new phase for 2027, with the rollout of a refreshed identity and a new logo. Portas Abertas notes that, despite the visual update, the movement’s core remains: uniting churches in prayer for Christians who rely on support due to their faith in Jesus.
The change positions DIP as a permanent, Portas Abertas–promoted movement, aiming to bring churches closer to the realities faced by persecuted Christians. The annual theme now carries a global reach, involving more countries on the World Watch List and strengthening the sense of unity among Christian communities praying together.
The 2027 DIP theme is Right to Believe. In several countries, converting to Christianity can lead to family rejection, loss of rights, or legal penalties. The event is scheduled for May 23, 2027, when participating churches will join in prayer on a common day. The organization continues to offer free digital materials, mobilization tools, and resources for children, with the aim of keeping the movement as an annual practice in local communities.
