Hebrews 13:3 — Faith Under Fire: Prayer for the Persecuted Church, the Underground Church, the Hidden Church in North Korea, Somalia, Libya and Eritrea — “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.” 2 Corinthians 4:9 — “Persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” PRAYER Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come now into the shadows where our brothers and sisters worship in whispers. We lift before You the persecuted believers of North Korea, Somalia, Libya and Eritrea — nations where faith in Christ is treated as a crime, where gathering is dangerous, where Scripture is hidden, where worship is silent, where courage costs everything. Lord, strengthen the underground church. Strengthen those meeting in safe houses, forests, basements, cellars, prison cells, labour camps, and border zones. Strengthen the pastors who cannot preach openly, the evangelists who share Christ in secret, the families torn apart because of their faith. Strengthen those facing imprisonment, surveillance, confiscation, interrogations, threats and violence because they belong to Jesus. Holy Spirit, surround every persecuted believer with supernatural protection. Hide them under the shadow of the Almighty. Silence the footsteps of danger. Confuse the plans of hostile authorities. Sustain their faith when they feel forgotten. Remind them today they are NOT alone — the global church stands with them. Lord, let the gospel advance in impossible places. Let dreams and visions of Jesus break into prisons and military compounds. Let courage rise. Let hope ignite. Let endurance hold strong. From London to Lagos, from Toronto to Seoul, from Cape Town to Helsinki — we lift our persecuted family to the throne of grace. Jesus, be their shield, their strength, their song, their defender. Amen.
