Pray With Us

For the Persecuted Church

“Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.”

Hebrews 13:3

Latest Prayer Opportunities

  • Pray for God to heal, and bind up all of Worke’s emotional wounds, so that she will experience His peace, that surpasses all understanding.
  • Pray for Worke to continue her faith in Christ, that she may continue to be a testament to God’s steadfast faithfulness.
  • Worke’s small business does not always bring in enough money. Pray that Worke will trust God to provide in her daily needs and to show her new and God honouring ways to increase her income.
  • Her request: “Pray for my unbelieving family. Pray that they would come to the knowledge of Christ and follow Him alone.”
  • Thank God for the Church’s presence, even in regions most hostile to the gospel. Pray that God will continue to build His Church and that she will grow despite severe persecution. Pray that Christians will remain bold and obedient in sharing the Gospel. Pray for continued grace, protection, and faithfulness to pastors. Pray that they may have all they need as they work, often amid great opposition.
  • More believers are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year than anywhere else in the world combined. Pray for grace to remain courageous in growing danger. Pray that believers will receive sufficient spiritual care.
  • In the northeast and parts of the Middle Belt Christians face brutal attacks resulting in injury and destruction of property. Survivors suffer grief and trauma. The need for care outweighs resources of churches. Pray for more workers.
  • The attacks displace great numbers of Christians who often do not feel safe in formal displacement camps, so take refuge at churches and/or with fellow Christians. This puts severe socio-economic pressure on Christian communities. Pray for comfort to displaced believers. Pray for those caring for the displaced to find the physical and emotional strength to continue this work. Thank the Lord for every contribution of help and the generosity of hosting communities. Pray for provision in the needs of hosting and displaced communities. Pray for wisdom to find sustainable ways for the displaced to provide for families.
  • Pray for this area itself. This region is 94% Muslim. There is a great darkness here. It’s a tough area—not just because of religion, but because the administration conspires to hinder the growth of churches.
  • Pray for God to break this chain of darkness and for the land to be surrendered to Him. We are His workers here, so pray for God to give us the land and for His work to prosper here. Pray for the area to be given to us for His glory.
  • Pray for workers to come to this area. People do not become full-time ministers here, so pray for God to call people to His work. Please pray for the churches in this area.
  • Pray for me to stick close to the Lord always and for Him to remain with me. I am a pastor, and I need God’s togetherness and for Him to strengthen me. If He is with me, that is enough.
