Joshua 1:9 — Faith Under Fire: Global Prayer for the Persecuted and Underground Church
9 A.M. Release — Recorded live here in London, England — from London to Islamabad, from Islamabad to Lagos, from Lagos to Buenos Aires — as believers gather in freedom, others worship in secret, yet the same Spirit unites them all.
Scripture (NIV)
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
Show Notes
Across the world, millions follow Christ in silence, under threat, or behind locked doors. “Prayer for the persecuted church” rises daily from nations where faith costs everything. Joshua 1:9 stands as their anthem — courage in the face of fear, strength in the face of suffering.
From London to Islamabad, Lagos to Buenos Aires, stories of hidden worshippers inspire the global body. The same God who walked with Joshua in battle walks with pastors imprisoned for preaching, with believers denied work, and with families torn apart for faith. The underground church is not forgotten — it is the living proof that the gospel cannot be chained.
This morning, we pray for courage, comfort, and endurance for our brothers and sisters under fire. May God’s Word run swiftly through every closed nation, and may those in darkness know they are not alone.
