The life of Pastor and his wife In China

Dear Prayer Warriors, the life of a pastor in China is not an easy one and the life of a Pastor’s wife like Deling,is one of both hardship and triumph.  

Her personal testimony gives us hope that God is always with us even when we feel like others have abandon us. God has created one Deling, like He has created only one you. This is Deling testimony what is yours?  Please watch the video below.

The wife of The Heavenly Man, Pastor Yun

Their sufferings were and is for the Harvest and for the believers. 

Please let us pray tonight 

• For Pastors in China like Pastor Yun and Pastor Wang Yi, to be wise, faithful and strong in their faith to be able to teach the Word of God and Salvation through Jesus while they are persecuted.
• For the Pastors wife like Deling and Pastor Wang Yi’s wife, Jiang Rong. Pray for wisdom, faith and straight as well. Often times, they are alone to take care and raise they children. To be able to overcome persecution and loneliness themselves.
• Pray for the children of the Pastors that they will grow to know the love of God through persecution. That through Him they will overcome 
• Pray that Jesus will build his church to be strong in China 
• Pray that more discipleship training programs will be raised up to train Pastors, leaders, and disciple makers.
• Pray that God will raise up Pastors and group leaders to shepherd the believers, as larger churches are forced to go into smaller groups.
• Pray that the Chinese Church will have access to the word of God and other Christ-centered literature.
• Pray that the believers in China will be encouraged to witness of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Pray that the Chinese Believers would love their persecutors and seek to witness to them of the life of Christ.

We will also Pray for: 

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. 

• On December 28 the police raided the Early Rain Church and arrested Pastor Wang Yi, his wife Jiang Rong, and ten elders of the well-known 750-member church for holding “illegal” services. Some 100 believers were detained, questioned, and later released. Pastor Wang’s wife was also released. Pastor Wang remained in detention.

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. 

• Pastor Nadarkhani is serving the second year of his six-year sentence, recently reduced from ten years. Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani converted to Christianity at the age of 19 and leads a 400-member house church in Rasht, Iran. Since 2006, Iranian authorities have consistently harassed and detained Pastor Nadarkhani and his family. In 2010, the authorities sentenced him to death for apostasy before acquitting him in 2012. Pastor Nadarkhani was tried again in 2017 on false charges of “acting against national security” and promoting “Zionist Christianity,” for which he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. By July 2018, plainclothes agents raided Pastor Nadarkhani’s home to execute the sentence, beating and apprehending him and using a taser gun on one of his sons. He is now incarcerated at the notorious Evin prison near Tehran.

The harvest 

• “And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2

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 (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!
