Psalm 27:1 — Faith Under Fire: Global Prayer for the Persecuted, Underground and Secret Church
9 A.M. Release — Recorded live here in London, England — from London to Beijing, from Beijing to Kabul, from Kabul to Addis Ababa — as the world gathers freely, the underground Church meets in silence, courage and unseen worship.
Scripture (NIV)
“The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid?” — Psalm 27:1 (NIV)
Show Notes
Across the world, millions worship behind locked doors. They are the Persecuted Church — hidden in homes, mountain valleys, and prison cells. Reports from Open Doors and Release International confirm that faith is still forbidden in many nations, yet the gospel is advancing like fire in the dark.
From London to Beijing, Kabul to Addis Ababa, the Secret Church lives the words of Psalm 27: “The Lord is my light and my salvation.” When fear is a constant companion, courage is born from His presence. The underground Church is not hidden from God; it is hidden in God — secure in His stronghold.
This morning we stand in prayer for every believer under fire: those in imprisonment, those in exile, those whose faith costs them everything. May their light burn brighter than their chains. May their song rise louder than their suffering.
