(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us tonight in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.
Always remembering you, praying without ceasing for the women going through trials and tribulations as well as needs, spiritual support.
Prayer Points
- Pray for media and NGOs to raise worldwide awareness against kidnapping and forcible marriage of Christian females to Muslims.
- Pray for young Christian women who live with risk of being kidnapped by Islamic extremists and forcefully married to their Muslim kidnappers.
- Pray for women to be able to escape from marriages that have been forced on them against their will.
- Pray for girls who must constantly fight to see their value as the restrictions of the prevailing Islamic culture marginalizes and devalues women.
- Pray for Christian women to intervene and disciple young females to know their value as daughters of Christ.
- Pray for the sustenance of Christian widows in Muslim countries who lack support from greater family and community.
- Pray that the Lord will take the scales from the eyes of Taliban men to see that women have value and are helpmates to be honored and valued.
- Pray to the Lord to lift the heavy oppression from female Taliban and open doors for them that the Taliban cannot shut.
- For girls no longer to be excluded from attending school – to be able to get some education.
- For women to be able to teach children
- Pray for the MBB girls and women who are beaten and then expelled from their homes to find comfort and shelter.
- Pray for the teenage girls and women who have been abducted by radical Muslims such as BOKO Haram and kept as slaves – for life?
- Pray for the women who confessed our Lord Jesus and as a consequence are serving prison time in countries like North Korea, Eritrea and so on.
- Pray for the women whose husbands have been murdered by radical Muslims for teaching the good news that they can forgive and not feel anger towards the killers.
- Pray for Muslim girls and women who feel inferior and disheartened in the dominant male Muslim society to hear the Good News – internet, radio and so on and find freedom in Jesus.
- Pray for women who serve the Lord as oral bible teachers, by evangelizing neighbors and reaching out into surrounding areas.
- Pray for women who actively support the ministry of their pastor husband by being by helpmates with worship children and ladies’ ministries.
Again, we want to lift-up 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.
- Pastor Wang Yi to be released from prison, for his family and for the church.
- Armenian Genocide Happening Again. Read full report here: Genocide and Forced Deportation: Nagorno-Karabakh
- Pastors Haile Nayzgi and Dr. Kiflu Gebremeskel. It is unconscionable that these two men, along with Pastor Meron Gebreselasie who was arrested a month later, remain imprisoned under horrible conditions in Eritrea.
- The Harvest: “37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38

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 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 are invited to join 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 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.
