Welcome to Christmas Week Prayer with Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength. We go straight into prayer. 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 — “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed…” Psalm 27:1 — “The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” Across the world today, persecuted believers enter Boxing Day whispering their faith, meeting in secret, and clinging to Jesus under nations of hostility. Global searches for “persecuted Christians” surge as awareness rises this week. Father, in Jesus’ name, we lift the Underground, Whispering, Secret, and Persecuted Church across the world. Strengthen your people in North Korea, Somalia, Yemen, and Eritrea today. Cover hidden gatherings. Protect pastors who lead in silence. Guard families threatened for following Christ. Let hope rise in prison cells, refugee camps, border villages, and safe houses. Give courage where worship is forbidden. Let the light of Christ pierce the fear imposed by governments and extremists. Surround every believer with angelic protection. Let your Word burn brighter than oppression. Uphold your Church with supernatural endurance and unshakeable joy. Today we stand with them — one body, one Spirit, one hope. prayer for persecuted christians, prayer for north korea church, prayer for somalia believers, prayer for hidden church, prayer for endurance, prayer for courage, prayer for protection, prayer for secret worship, prayer for global church Carry these believers in your heart today and pray their strength will not fail.
