(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us on Saturday, November 12, 2022 in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.
The battle which has been raging in the spiritual world is increasingly evident in the natural. Countries divided, protests, wars, increasing persecution against those who believe in the One True God, as well as natural disasters, all point to Matthew 24 and other scriptures.
1 Chronicles 12:32 “Men of Issachar who understood the times and knew what Israel should do–“
- Pray believers would understand the times and know what to do; pray for wisdom
Jeremiah 32:27 “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”
- Pray angelic protection for those being persecuted; pray releasing of captive.
- Pray for supernatural protection for believers and other innocent people who are attacked, bombed, or anything else in Israel and many countries of the world.
- Pray for supernatural healing and other signs and wonders to be manifest among believers.
- Pray for supernatural provision for godly ministries and believers who have fled or been expelled from their homes or land.
Zechariah 12:10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.”
- Pray for a spirit of grace and supplication to be poured out on the Jews and Gentiles so that many would come to know Yeshua as their Messiah.
Hebrews 4:14 “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus, the son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
- Pray believers would be bold in prayer; pray for more intercessors.
Proverbs 29:25 “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be kept safe.”
- Pray Israel will not be pressured to give up any land or sovereignty over their land by the USA, the UN or any other entity. There will be devastating consequences for any nation that succeeds in dividing the land of Israel. God will repay swiftly and in kind.
- Pray against fear of man in the church; pray for an increase in the fear of the LORD.
- Pray against the spirit of compromise.
- Pray for the fear of God among unbelievers
Joshua 6:20 “When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed. then every man charged straight in and they took the city.”
- Pray Israel would break down walls of the enemy and possess the land God has promised to them through prayer, praise, worship and boldness.
- Since the church is grafted into Israel, pray the church would tear down the walls of the enemy, destroy what is not of God, and rescue its captives.
Proverbs 29:4 “By justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down.”
- Pray for the new government of Israel. Much of the press has been maligning Israel and calling it “Anti-Arab” as well as maligning leaders of some in the coalition for being too “Zionist”. We can pray without ceasing regarding the government of Israel, our government, and the governments of the world.
- Pray God’s Kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We don’t know the end from the beginning or details of how God’s plan will unfold.
Again, we want to lift these persecuted witnesses to the Lord:
- Leah Sharibu, a prisoner of Boko Haram since 2018, pray for her release.
- Alice Loksha Ngaddah, kidnapped February 2019. She is a mother of two, working as a nurse for UNICEF. Pray for her release.
- Pray For Pastor Wang Yi to be released from prison.
- Pray for Anita to make an easy transition into her new culture and that the Lord will be gracious in bringing her family members to Canada.
- For the release of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from Iran, and his family as their persecution continues. Pastor Nadarkhani is serving the second year of his six-year sentence, recently reduced from ten years.
The Harvest
“I am sending you, to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me” (Acts 26:18)

What is Persecution Watch?
Persecution Watch is a U.S. national prayer conference call ministry that prays specifically for the global Persecuted Church. For over a decade, Blaine Scogin led this national network of believers who faithfully pray for the persecuted and the global harvest for the Kingdom of God. The group meets via a free call-in service every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night at 9pm Eastern time in the United States (please check your time zone). Blaine also served as Prayer Director for Voice of the Persecuted, and the missions became one. Brother Blaine passed into glory on December 26, 2019. It was truly a blessing for all of us to serve alongside this dear man of God and he will be greatly missed. The prayer mission of Persecution Watch remains an important part of our mission. Voice of the Persecuted is committed to continue the prayer conference call for the persecuted along with the dedicated Persecution Watch prayer warrior team.
Prior to the passing of Brother Blaine, he confirmed the passing of the torch as prayer conference call leader to Nadia Dybvik. Nadia has a burdened heart for the persecuted and is a prayer warrior standing in the gap for them. She joined the Persecution Watch prayer team in 2013 and has been part of the core ever since. Before becoming the prayer call leader, she served in the role of prayer moderator since 2015. Blaine chose Nadia for her faithfulness to pray for the persecuted and her strong commitment to the Persecution Watch mission. We are blessed not only with her gift of prayer, but her genuine love for every brother and sister in Christ that comes on the call to pray. May the Lord continue to bless Nadia and the prayer team in the mission and their personal lives.
“Pray for us” is the number one request that we hear from the persecuted. As the members of the first century Church were moved by the Holy Spirit to pray, we too must continue to serve those suffering persecution by lifting them up to the Lord through prayer.
On occasion, persecuted brothers and sisters have been invited on the conference call to share the trials they are facing. The team serves to encourage them by washing their feet in Spirit led prayer. Time is often reserved for those on the call to ask questions. We believe this helps to gain a better understanding of the situation that persecuted Christians endure in their specific nations. Q&A also helps us to focus our prayers based on their current needs.
Persecution Watch also hosts callers who want to pray united from other nations. If your heart is perplexed by the sufferings of our persecuted brothers and sisters, you no longer need to pray alone.
We welcome all who desire to pray for the persecuted church and consider it a joy to pray together with you. If you are new to the call and cannot find your voice, listen in and pray silently or on mute. We are grateful and thank the Lord for bringing us all together to pray in agreement for our persecuted family in Christ. We can all be prayer warriors on this call!
God bless and protect you in your faithfulness to serve.
