Urgent Prayer for Believers in Haiti

March 15, 2024 8:38 am / Leave a comment

(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us Friday, March 15, 2024, in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.

Haiti: Population: 11.5 million (estimate), Christians 95% (estimate) and it is estimated that 75% Christians are involved in Voodoo practices. Area: about the same size as the state of Maryland in the US. Location: Caribbean country sharing a border with the Dominican Republic. Languages: French only 10% can speak it, Haitian Creole is the dominant language. Literacy: around 50%, functional as low as 20%. Economy: 75% of the population lives on more or less of $2 per day.

While there is no “CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION” the violence from gangs and criminals has negatively impacted the life of believers – their safety and attending church activities. Also, some NGOs were forced to severely curtail activities and others shut down and left Haiti.

Prayer Points

  • Please pray that the Lord will intervene as no political solution or peace keeping force appears to be possible.
  • Please pray to the Lord that now President Ariel Henry has stepped down, a government can be formed and that all gang violence will end. 
  • Pray to the Lord to raise up a Christian leader after His own hard to become president.
  • Pray to the Lord that He will change the hearts of the prominent gang leaders, the Ex-policeman Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier and ex- convict Guy Philippe. That they will turn from violence to put their energies into peaceful solutions.
  • Pray to the Lord to protect the people from more violence as the recent prison break freed 4000 inmates.
  • Pray to the Lord for the about 15,000 displaced believers and others to receive food and shelter.
  • Pray to the Lord for overcrowded Hospitals to be able to stay open and that Physicians and Physicians to serve (many have fled the violence)
  • Pray to the Lord to open a door for pastors and believers to be able to minister spiritually to the downtrodden, depressed, and fearful people.
  • Pray to the Lord that He will give comfort and healing to the people who have been wounded and lost loved ones and connect them with believers.
  • Pray to the Lord for the safety and deliverance of religious organizations, such as Cross to Light and NGOs who made the decision to not leave and continue to serve.
  • Pray to the Lord that the gangs will allow 2-3 hourly blocks of time with no violence for people to shop – what has not been plunders, that the water trucks can run – access to much needed drinking water.
  • Pray to the Lord that against the Voodoo cult and that evangelical churches will be able to break Haitians from worshipping both in a Christian church and attend a Voodoo church later.
  • Pray to the Lord that believers will love and forgive the people who hurt them.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.

Urgent Prayer Request for Haiti

March 12, 2024 10:53 am / Leave a comment

(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us Tuesday, March 12, 2024, in a prayer conference call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.

We are deeply saddened by the worsening state of the nation of Haiti. Our hearts pained us as we read the news of missionaries and other believers who were kidnapped while they served the Lord Jesus. In other scenarios believers have been assaulted and/or killed. The violent situation has escalated as gangs in Haiti have collaborated to oust the acting President and Prime Minister Ariel Henry. While all of these atrocities continue to be committed our hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ, his never-ending love and ability to help those who are in need.

Please see (ICC) for news stories from various outlets of Christian Persecution in Haiti.

Prayer Points:

  • Pray for the stability of the Haitian government. Pray that international intervention would help to make the nation better and not worse.
  • Pray that the people of Haiti would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We know that if they call upon the name of the Lord they will be saved.
  • There is only one God! Pray that believers would not mix their faith with rituals and practices which God forbids.
  • Pray for the pastors, leaders, and other believers whose churches and homes have been targeted in the violence.
  • Pray that believers would find new hope in Christ at this time and that they would know he has not forsaken them.
  • Pray for God’s supernatural protection over the people at this time.
  • Pray for God’s supernatural provision. The Capital Port au Prince is under siege and food and fuel prices have risen significantly.
  • Pray that the mighty hand of God would bring down the evil spiritual powers which operate against Haiti.
  • Pray that the Holy Spirit would comfort the people and renew their joy at this time so that they would not become overwhelmed with despair.
  • Pray that an opening would be made for the regional and international community to send aid.
  • Pray that those who are vulnerable and in need would receive the aid and that it would not be kept from them.
  • Pray that believers worldwide who hear of the situation would pray earnestly for Haiti as though they were there themselves.

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.
  • 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.

  • 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

Persecution Watch: Praying through 2 Corinthians 4

October 26, 2021 9:52 am / Leave a comment

(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us on Tuesday 26, October 2021 in a conference prayer call for the persecuted church hosted by Persecution Watch.

Dear Prayer Warriors hear God and see His ways. In 2 Corinthians 4, I see us as we pray for the Persecuted Church. I can also see our brothers and sisters in Christ as they are persecuted, suffering for choosing to follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior. 

“4 Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servant for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Treasure in Jars of Clay

7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.

13 Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, 14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

I’m reminded of the multiple Scriptures in the Bible that warn, ‘Those who have hears let them hear and those of who have eyes let them see’.

Tonight, we will pray for Afghan Christians, the nation of Afghanistan, and the 17 missionaries kidnapped in Haiti. 

We will also remember these dear ones:

Leah Sharibu and Alice that they will be set free from Boko Haram captivity.

  • Leah Sharibu was kidnapped along with 109 other students on February 19, 2018 when Boko Haram attacked a boarding school in the city of Dapchi, Maiduguri Diocese, in north-eastern Nigeria. A month later, some of the girls died in captivity and all the others were released, except Leah. She was the only Christian in the group
  • Alice Loksha Ngaddah was kidnapped during the Rann attack on March 1, 2018. She was a nurse working with Unicef and is a mother of two.
  • Pastor Wang Yi to be released from prison, for his family, the children, and the church in China. Pastor Wang Yi who is currently serving his prison sentence.
  • Anita an Iranian Christian, persecuted by the Islamic regime seeking asylum.
  • Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from Iran, for his release and his family as their persecution continues. At present he is serving 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)

The Lord’s servant,

Persecution Watch: Join us as we Pray for the nation of Haiti

November 5, 2020 8:39 am / Leave a comment

11/5/2020 (Voice of the Persecuted) Haiti:  Population: 11.7 million, Christian 9.6 million

When Columbus landed in the island of Hispaniola on December 6, 1492, he found a kingdom ruled by a cacique, or Taino Indian chief. … When Haitians took their independence in 1804, through a slave revolt, they changed their colonial name from Saint Domingue (the name given by the French) to its Taino name of Haiti.

Haiti was made to pay for its freedom with steep reparations to France and diplomatic isolation, crippling the nation in its early years. Since that time the nation has a troubled history of bloodshed and dictatorships. Deposing the Duvaliers in 1986 ended a particularly brutal dictatorship followed by many coups and military rule. The US intervene in1994 to instill stability.

The 2010 earthquake devasted the little economy and infrastructure. Income per person less than $2 a day and major sources of income are remittances from expatriate Haitians and international relief.  Enormous corruption, crime, a under strength police force often in the pockets of drug lords. Also 15% of the elite control 90% of all resources.

While there is religious freedom from the state, Haiti is a huge spiritual battle ground.  Haitians identify themselves as Christians. However, the greatest threat or challenge is the widespread practice of Voodoo which is also practiced by many churchgoers. On a positive note: the evangelical churches are growing steadily.

 

  • Pray for Christians, godly leaders, to be elected to government offices to look for the good for the nation and address the massive corruption problems.

 

  • Pray to the Lord will break the power of the Voodoo churches that are distorting and polluting the message of Christ.

 

  • Pray that the many Haitians who call themselves Christian will experience the transforming power of a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and overcome their practice of voodooism.

 

  • Pray for the Lord to for laborers to go out to the rural areas where there is a lack of teaching that has reduced the influence of the church.

 

  • Pray for more pastoral and leadership training. That NGOs will provide much needed support to develop pastors and elders who will teach the Bible.

 

  • Pray for unity of the Bible teaching churches as prosperity, liberation and other imported theologies confuse and divide Christians.

 

  • Pray for the Restaveks about 300,000 in numbers, who are child slaves which are easily bought and sold. Pray that the Lord will raise up people and organizations to bring love and relive to the Restaveks.

 

  • Pray for more Creole language Bibles which are relatively expensive and in short supply as well as more discipleship material in Creole.

 

  • Pray for more Christian broadcast messages in Creole by TWR and others. Also pray for more messages in Creole on the internet.

 

  • Pray to the Lord for more Bible teaching mission organizations to come to Haiti and to give them wisdom and discernment how to plant churches to be patored by indigenous pastors.

 

  • Pray that Christians would have the courage and boldness to share their faith and not be discouraged by voodooism.

 

  • Pray that the Lord will continue to grow HIS church.

Again, we want to lift up persecuted witnesses for the Lord and pray for

  • Leah Sharibu and Alice, prisoners of Boko Haram, pray that they will be set free
  • Pray pastor Wang Yi to be released from Prison
  • Pray for Anita, a Christian convert persecuted by the Iranian government.

You are invited to join us on Thursday, November 5th in a prayer call for the persecuted church.

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!
