The Persecuted Church: Faith Under Fire Across the Globe — with Sandra Robson & Rev. Ben Cooper
Episode Description:
You are joining Sandra Robson and Reverend Ben Cooper for a sobering and powerful episode as they take us deep into the harsh realities facing the global persecuted church. From Iran to India, Myanmar, and Afghanistan, this episode shines a light on the suffering many Christians endure simply for professing their faith in Jesus Christ.
With direct insights and compassionate storytelling, this discussion draws attention to the tireless work of Barnabas Aid, a global ministry supporting displaced and persecuted Christians in some of the most dangerous regions of the world. Sandra and Reverend Ben highlight the immense challenges facing believers living under regimes and in territories where Christianity is criminalized, restricted, or violently opposed.
A major focus of the episode is the unfolding crisis in India, where proposed anti-conversion laws seek to silence Christian evangelism and restrict religious freedom. These laws disproportionately target Christians and other religious minorities in a country that continues to promote Hindu nationalism. Listeners will learn how these laws are being used as tools of harassment and intimidation, especially in rural areas where churches and Christian communities are already under pressure.
The conversation also touches on:
- The underground church in Iran and how believers are growing in number despite surveillance and imprisonment
- Ongoing violence and displacement in Myanmar against Christian ethnic groups
- The heartbreaking but courageous stories of Christians in Afghanistan, especially women and young believers
- What it truly means to stand firm in faith when doing so could cost you your life
Why This Matters to the Global Church:
This episode serves as a call to awareness, intercession, and action. As Christians in the West and across more stable nations, it is vital that we understand what our brothers and sisters are going through. We are one body—and when one part suffers, we all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26).
