Your prayers can have a powerful impact on the lives of persecuted Christians around the world. Through prayer, barriers are broken down, resistant people are made receptive, and the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ is extended.

No matter where Voice of the Martyrs ministers, the first request of persecuted Christians is, "Please pray for us!"

How to Pray for Persecuted Christians

The Bible is our best guide for knowing how to pray for persecuted brothers and sisters. Here are some specific things you can pray for:

Pray God will give them the right words and that they will fearlessly make Christ known. (Ephesians 6:19-20; Colossians 4:2-4)

Pray they will remember that persecution is part of God’s will for them. (Philippians 1:29)

Pray they will know God's sufficient grace and His power perfected in their weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
