Why Are So Many Currently Praying for Israel?
(Voice of the Persecuted) You’re invited to join us on Saturday, May 13, 2023, in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.
Dear Prayer Warriors, we want to lift Israel in prayer during this time between Passover and Shavuot. Many Christians have been prompted to pray and some to fast during these days. We know the important thing is for all the people to have a loving relationship with the living God; to know Messiah Yeshua as Savior, and Adonai. And, thanksgiving that all Israel will be saved, as per Romans 11:26,27
There are pages of prayers from Isaiah 62, with one scripture for each of the days from May 7, the 31st day of counting the Omer, to Shavuot, the 50th day. I am choosing and paraphrasing some of them.
Isaiah 62:1 “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.
- Pray for salvation for all Israel.
- Help Your people to declare Your Holy Name among the people and Nations.
- Pray for a spirit of repentance for both believers and unbelievers.
- Pray Israel would truly be a righteous Nation.
Isaiah 62:2a “The Nations will see your righteousness and all kings your glory”
- Pray leaders of other Nations would see God’s hand upon Israel and God’s glory in the land.
Isaiah 62:2b “You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow”
- Pray for a breaking of the power of derogatory names for Israel and the Jewish people; change the hearts of those who do so and heal the wounds of those hurt by them.
Isaiah 62:3 “You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted or your land Desolate.”
- Pray governing authorities in Israel to align with the decrees of God’s Word. Give them the fear of the LORD so they may govern with much wisdom, understanding and knowledge that comes with it.
- Raise up leaders in Zion who seek God’s royal leadership and give them favor.
Isaiah 62:4 “No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate, but you will be called Hephzibah and your land Beulah”
- This is the LORD’s land which belongs to Him. It is not to be bought or sold OR given away. Pray for repentance for doing just that. Pray for its leaders to be zealous for the land.
- Pray protection for its borders, inside and out. Protect the land and its people from death and destruction by enemy attacks. Find out all terrorist plots and squash them.
Isaiah 62:5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.”
- Pray against the spirit of antisemitism, including all replacement theology and cursing Israel. Deliver the church from it.
- Pray for Intercessors with the opposite spirit of replacement theology to heal both the church and those hurt and embittered by it.
- Pray for a release of all the land Yah desires Israel to have, now and in the future, especially Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.
- Pray for justice to prevail for all who live in the land, whether Jew or Arab or any other people.
- Pray for rain to water the dry and thirsty ground; make more of the desert bloom, even naturally, as well as the wonder working technologies You have given to them. May it be for God’s glory.
- Pray for revival during this time.
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.
- Pray for Pastor Wang Yi to be released from prison
- For Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from Iran, as he and his family are adjusting from his release from prison, that they may know what God’s will is for them now. Pray for the trauma they had to endure. UPDATE: According to Article 18, once sentenced to death for his “apostasy” has been “pardoned” and released after nearly five years in Tehran’s Evin Prison, but told Nadarkhani that he still faces flogging (30 lashes) and two years’ exile 2,000km from his home. Read the report here
- UPDATE (March 17, 2023): Ryan Koher, a pilot for the U.S.-based ministry Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), and two of the ministry’s South African volunteers were released from a Mozambican prison Tuesday afternoon, the organization announced. The trio had been held at a high-security prison inside the southeastern African country for four months. Their release is a provisional one and they are required to remain in the country, while their case is still ongoing, according to MAF. Koher is said to be “doing well” following his release and has spoken multiple times with his wife, Annabel, and his two sons since his release, the ministry said. Source
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?
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.

Praying for Believers in Syria, Morocco, Egypt, and Israel
(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.
“You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter
Dear Prayer Warriors, Brother Dave, whom I pray we will have the blessing to host him soon on the call, wrote this about Syria.
“I share this intro to the country of Syria because I have very little knowledge of this country. Did you know Saul was traveling in Syria on the road to Damascus when he had his own conversion experience? [see Acts 9] Why? Because it was in Damascus that Christianity had taken root, and many were following the teachings of Jesus! Today, the Christian population is about 3% of the total population, which is much smaller than it has been over the past 2000 years. I implore you as Believers, to pray that God will strengthen and encourage these brothers and sisters. Help them to know they are not forgotten!
And indeed, we will!
I am also happy to let you know that we will have Kim on the call as our guest tonight. She is a dear Sister to me whom I have known for many years. She has been a joyful and faithful encouragement to me in my walk with the Lord. She will share with us about her latest mission trip to Morocco, Egypt, and Israel.
We may also, if possible, have a special guest who has come on the call from time to time.
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.
- Pray for Pastor Wang Yi to be released from prison.
- For Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from Iran, as he and his family are adjusting from his release from prison, that they may know what God’s will is for them now. Pray for the trauma they had to endure.
- Pray for Ryan Kohler, pilot for Mission Aviation who is in prison in Mozambique. While flying supplies to orphanages in the Northeast of the country, he and two others were detained and accused of supporting terrorism.
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 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.

Pray for Israel, the U.S. regarding Israel, and the Persecuted Church
(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.

Persecution Watch: Praying for the Jewish and Muslim people
(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us on Saturday, April 23, 2022 in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.
We need to keep praying for Israel. Tonight (Saturday evening) begins the 7th day of Passover, which is a holy festival.
It is also the 22nd day of Ramadan, the night after “the night of power”. There are Muslims who feel empowered for violence to make the entire Middle East Islamic.
Israel is a testimony that the God of Israel is the true God and a thorn in the side of Islam. Satan wants nothing more than to eliminate Israel.
But God says “no”, and His Word stands.
- Pray for unity in the Spirit (there is no other unity possible) among Jewish, Muslim and all other believers. (It is interesting that this chapter follows Romans 11)
There has been much violence in Israel and on the Temple Mount. Most of the world seems to be condemning Israel.
Psalm 43:3 “Send forth Your light and Your Truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.”
- Pray for Truth.
- Pray against spirit of violence; pray for angelic protection for all people who are not trying to harm others.
- Pray from Lord’s prayer: “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Amen!
We are continuing to lift up these persecuted witnesses to the Lord:
- Leah Sharibu: prisoner of Boko Haram since 2018. Pray for her release.
- Alice Loksha Ngaddah: kidnapped in 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 Chinese prison.
- Anita, a Christian convert, facing a long prison term who escaped from Iran and praying to go to a country where she can express her faith openly.
- Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from Iran for his release and his family as their persecution continues. Pastor Nadarkhani is serving the second year of his six-year sentence.
- 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)

Join the Conference Call to Pray For Israel
(Voice of the Persecuted) We invite you to join us on Saturday, March 19, 2022, in a prayer conference call for Israel and the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.
While most attention has been on the Russian war in Ukraine, which is reasonable. We also know that the killing, kidnapping, burning of villages and subsequent refugees in Africa has not stopped. We have finished celebrating Purim, when the Almighty stepped in already knowing what He would do to preserve Israel and destroy those who tried to destroy the Jewish people. Dear Prayer Warriors, I feel an urgency to pray for Israel.
We thank you, Adonai, that You are always at work, often behind the scenes, to preserve Your people, both the Israelites and those who have been grafted in.
Psalm 83:4-5 “Come, they say, let us destroy them from being a Nation that the name of Israel be remembered no more. With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against You …“
- Pray for Israel’s protection, as Iran and its proxies have Israel physically surrounded.
- Pray for the security forces; grant them discernment; show them how to stop every terrorist plot.
The P5+1 is still negotiating on a nuclear deal.
Exodus 23:32 “Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods.“
- Pray this nuclear deal will not stand.
Proverbs 29:25 “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be kept safe.”
Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
- Pray that those in leadership would not fear man or be manipulated by fear; would not stop Israel from possessing its land.
- Pray that government leaders, and all Israelites would trust in the Lord and ask for wisdom and understanding that they may have what they need.
- Pray for wisdom regarding the Russia/Ukraine conflict so they will not feel bullied into making bad decisions.
- Pray would raise up godly advisors for all the government leaders (Proverbs 11:14)
Passover and Ramadan overlap next month, which historically has brought increased terrorism and unrest.
Isaiah 57:19-21 “… Peace, peace to those far and near, says the Lord, and I will heal them. But the wicked are like the tossing sea which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud. There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.“
- Pray for a spirit of calm in all the believers to help change the atmosphere; pray against the spirit of violence.
- Pray for believers to pray for their enemies and be able to love them in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jeremiah 33:12 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In this place, desolate without men or animals — in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.“
An article from the Jerusalem Post this month showed photos of IDF soldiers clashing with the Bedouins while protesting forestation of the desert. They are against planting trees!
There is a problem with lack of governance in the Negev.
PM Bennett said that we are dealing with chronic problems that are constantly being put off. Regavim, a public movement dedicated to the protection of Israel’s national lands and resources, warned “if we continue on the trajectory we are in right now, we will lose the Negev.” The Negev is more than 60% of Israel’s landmass.
- Pray Israel’s government would plant the trees it has planned according to God’s Word.
- Pray Israel would step up and be able to govern this area.
Thomas Nides, the US Ambassador to Israel, said that settlement growth infuriates him. He strongly pressured Israel to not build in the E1 corridor NE of Jerusalem. This is because the USA does not want to hinder the “two state solution” creating “Palestine”, and anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist Islamic State on Israel’s God promised land.
- Pray forIsrael will not face pressure into a move that would curse both Israel and the United States.
- Pray the United States would repent of its ungodly desires.
Jeremiah 31:8 “See, I will bring them from the land of the North and gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor; a great throng will return.”
Thankfully Pnina Tamano-Shata, Israel’s Aliyah and Integration Minister, formerly known as the Ministry of Immigration, is working to remove many bureaucratic barriers.
- Pray to bring the Jewish people safely out of Ukraine and Russia and other countries into Israel.
- Let this influx of refugees allow more Messianic Jews to enter Israel; to remove bureaucratic barriers that make it harder to immigrate.
- May there be resources for this great influx of people: new housing, including in new areas, jobs, language classes, and other needs, to go forth to possess the Land.
Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.“
- Pray that all this shaking would cause more Jews (and others) to seek You.
- May they find salvation during this Passover season; open their eyes that they may connect the Passover lamb with the Lamb of God and the blood.
- Pray for an increase of divine encounters; pray for discipling of new believers; pray new believers would not face pressure by family or rabbis to turn away.
We are continuing to lift-up persecuted witnesses to the Lord:

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.

Praying Against Antisemitism and Global Strife
(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us on Tuesday January 29, 2022 in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.
The world situation, including Israel, and antisemitism has been foremost on my mind. There is so much to pray for that it is hard to begin.
Holocaust Remembrance Day was Thursday of this week. In Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Boca Raton flyers in plastic bags with a rock were thrown into driveways saying, “Every aspect of the covid agenda is Jewish”, giving the names of government officials, scientists, CEOs who are Jewish. Antisemitism has dramatically increased in the world. In France, it has increased 75% over 2020, with a 37% increase in violent attacks.
There were dozens of attacks during the 11 days when Israel and Hamas were exchanging fire. Soccer fans in Belgium do Nazi salutes and chant about killing Jews. Such chants occur regularly in Europe and in the Netherlands, and it is spreading to other venues like graduation parties.
The book “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, very antisemitic, are being sold very successfully by all the major book sellers.
Barnes and Noble argues that “IF this book is genuine, it might cause some of us to take a wary view on world affairs”, strongly implying that this book may in fact be true.
A Tennessee school board voted unanimously to remove the Pulitzer Prize winning novel “Maus” about his father’s Holocaust experience. Parents said it might find the book “anxiety provoking” because it shows people hanging and the killing of children.
The United Nations is notoriously anti-Israel. The UNGA (United Nations General Assembly) decided to fund a new “commission of inquiry” to solely investigate Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Every year the UNGA routinely passes series of blatant anti-Israel resolutions: 17 in 2021. This month it called upon Israel to withdraw from “occupied Syrian Golan” and give it to the Assad regime.
The Biden administration told Israel, Greece, and Cyprus it will no longer support a natural gas pipeline from Israel to Europe in order not to get Russia and Turkey upset.
Israel and Lebanon are in a dispute regarding maritime borders, including oil drilling rights.
The children in most of the Arab world, and very strongly in Gaza, Syria and other places are taught that the Jews are responsible for their suffering and that they stole the land they are on.
Everyday rocks capable of killing people are throw by the Arabs in Gaza and also in other parts of Israel. Last year according to reports, there were 1,775 attacks. People were killed, including a 4-year-old girl.
Israel is determined to stop Iran from having nuclear weapons whether the West makes an agreement or not. Iran is determined to have them. Israeli fighter jets and refueling planes held massive drill over the Mediterranean aimed at Tehran. Iran is testing ballistic missles that can carry nuclear bombs to most of Europe.
Yet UK, France, Germany, USA continue to negotiate with Iran in Vienna.
China, Russia, and Iran held maritime joint exercises in the Indian Ocean. January 1st was their third one. Iranian’s leader Ebrahim Raisi presented Moscow with draft documents on strategic ties that would cement a joint collaboration for the next 20 years.
Houthi attacks from Yemen on the UAE did substantial damage, using a combination of ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. Many missiles and drones were intercepted, but many were not.
Israel is considering her position on the Ukraine / Russia crisis. Since 2014 Israel has maintained neutrality due to Russia’s significant military presence in Syria as well as Israel’s strong ties with Ukraine in a variety of areas. Israel volunteered to mediate, but Putin refused.
- Pray for the church and others to rise up and combat these lies, whether on flyers, in books; pray these flyers will not find good ground.
- Pray books about the Holocaust be allowed in the schools.
- Pray that the church in Europe would rise up with the Jewish community against the spread of antisemitism.
- Pray protection for the Jewish people in France, Poland, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands– all of Europe.
- Pray antisemitism would lead to more people fulfilling God’s agenda of bringing the Jewish people back to the land of Israel.
- Pray the US would stand with Israel; the US abstained in a UN vote on an important issue recently; pray US would change its stance on the natural gas pipeline to Europe. Pray for wisdom for the leaders of all these governments.
- Pray against the BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) movement pushed by the UN and many Nations.
- Pray for a fair and Godly resolution with Israel and Lebanon.
- Pray that Israel would know how to deal with the rock throwing.
- Pray for wisdom for Israel’s leaders; have fear of God; seek Godly counsel; not rely on their own strength.
- Pray Israel would know what or what not to do regarding Iran.
- Pray confusion among Israel’s enemies.
- Pray protection for Israel and her true allies; for gathering of all necessary intelligence.
Again, we want to lift up these persecuted witnesses to the Lord:
- Leah Sharibu, 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, a Christian convert facing a long prison term who escaped from Iran and praying to go to a country where she can express her faith openly.
- 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.

The group meets via a free call-in service every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night at 9pm Eastern (please check your time zone). Blaine also served as Prayer Director for Voice of the Persecuted and our missions became one. The prayer mission of Persecution Watch is an important part of our own.
With the passing of Blaine into glory on December 26, 2019, Voice of the Persecuted is committed to continue the prayer conference call for the persecuted along with our dedicated prayer warrior team.
On occasion, persecuted brothers and sisters have been invited on the call to share the trials they’re 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’re new to the call and can’t 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!
