(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us, tonight, in a prayer conference call hosted by Persecution Watch.
Nigeria’s army has rescued hundreds of hostages, mostly women and children, who had been held captive for months or years by radical Islamic terrorists from the extremist group Boko Haram.
International Christian Concern is confirming reports that 209 children, 135 women, and six men were rescued from the clutches of Boko Haram this week.
The hostages were rescued in a days long military operation in the northeast part of Nigeria after being discovered in a terrorist hideout in Sambisa Forest. That forest reserve stretches along the border with Cameroon and Niger, giving Islamic jihadists like Boko Haram and similar factions a haven to attack civilians in multiple countries… Read the full report here.
Psalm 95:2
“Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!”
- Join us with prayers of Thanksgiving.
- Praise the Lord for unswerving prayers, Alleluia.
- Pray that Lea Sharibu and her possible children are among the ones who were rescued.
- Pray that her husbund accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
- Pray that those who were rescued will turn to Jesus to overcome the trauma that they had to endure.
- Pray for them to be able to start a new life with their children.
- Pray that they will be able to forgive those who kept them captive so they will find peace.
- Pray that they will build confidence for a better life.
- Pray the woman will find self esteem and believe that they are precious and loved by Jesus.
- Pray for the children’s that they will be accepted and loved by their family.
- Pray for the family to have patience as their loved ones readjust to the new life.
- Pray for others who are still in captivity that they will also be rescued.
- Pray for their family, for their loved ones are not among those who are finely free.
- Pray that the radical Islamic terrorists from the extremist group Boko Haram will repent and find Jesus through dreams and visions.
For His Kingdom,
Nadia Dybvik, Persecution Watch Prayer Conference Call Leader

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 two 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 2015 and has been part of the core ever since. Before becoming the prayer call leader, she served in the role of prayer moderator since 2016. 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 was 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 are invited to the conference call and 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 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.
Lois Kanalos, Founder, Voice of the Persecuted, Nadia Dybvik, Persecution Watch Prayer Call Leader, and the Persecution Watch Prayer Call Moderator Team
