Send us your feedback — we're listening2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (NIV) “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben CooperAcross the world, believers gather in secret places—hidden rooms, silent homes, forest paths, closed-door cell groups, and encrypted online meetings—where faith comes at great cost. From London to Tehran, from Tehran to Kabul, from Kabul to Beijing, from Beijing to Mogadishu, millions of Christians live under surveillance, threat, hostility, imprisonment, and danger. 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 is one of the most treasured scriptures among persecuted communities because it declares that pressure cannot break what God upholds, and darkness cannot silence what Christ sustains. Their worship is whispered, their gatherings discreet, but their courage is supernatural. Today we lift every believer who risks everything to follow Jesus, every pastor in hiding, every family displaced by persecution, every young person forced to worship in secret, and every prisoner of faith who stands alone yet held by God's presence. The Holy Spirit fills the underground church with boldness the world cannot understand.Prayer Points Prayer for supernatural protection over hidden believers, prayer for courage in underground worship, prayer for strength for prisoners of faith, prayer for endurance under interrogation and pressure, prayer for safety over secret gatherings, prayer for comfort in isolation and fear, prayer for boldness to share Christ in restricted nations, prayer for provision for displaced Christian families, prayer for revival in persecuted regions, prayer for the gospel to advance despite oppositionLife Application Remember the persecuted church today.

From London to Cairo, from Cairo to Islamabad, from Islamabad to Beijing, from Beijing to Khartoum, the persecuted church continues to stand in courage against surveillance, hostility, imprisonment, and threat. 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 remains one of the most shared scriptures in underground communities, declaring that pressure does not break those God upholds. Psalm 91:1 runs powerfully alongside it, offering a sheltering promise for every believer forced to hide their faith. These verses rise as anchors in regions where worship is dangerous, where gathering is illegal, and where believers risk everything to follow Christ. Today we lift secret believers, displaced families, imprisoned pastors, house-church leaders, and every worshipper living beneath threat.

From London to Cairo, from Cairo to Islamabad, from Islamabad to Beijing, from Beijing to Khartoum, the persecuted church continues to gather in hidden rooms, remote villages, silent basements, and secret prayer networks.

It reminds the body of Christ that persecution does not equal abandonment. Even when believers are isolated, hunted, imprisoned, or silenced, God stands closer than the threat itself. This verse echoes through underground movements, reminding the church that pressure cannot break what God upholds.

Across regions like China, Afghanistan, Eritrea, and North Korea, believers are searching for “prayer for persecuted Christians,” “secret church prayer,” and “God protect the underground church.” Psalm 91:11 speaks directly into hidden fear and silent endurance. Jesus stands with every believer who worships in secret and trusts Him in danger.  Persecution attempts to silence the Church, but Christ strengthens His people in the shadows. The Holy Spirit ministers quietly in homes, fields, prison cells, and unsafe places of worship. God commands His angels to guard those who suffer for His name. Their faith is not forgotten; their courage is seen by heaven  This morning we stand with the persecuted Church worldwide. We lift those who gather in whispers, those separated from family, those imprisoned, and those facing pressure for following Jesus. May God's covering surround them and Christ's presence sustain them. Context Millions of Christians live under pressure, watching every step they take. Psalm 91:11 reminds them—and us—that God's protection is not removed by danger. His angels guard those who trust in Him, even in nations where faith is costly. Reflection The persecuted Church teaches us how to stand firm. Their quiet bravery reveals the power of Christ in dark places. When fear tries to weaken them, the Holy Spirit strengthens them. When loneliness strikes, Jesus draws near. Intercession & Vision Lord, protect believers in China, Afghanistan, Eritrea, and North Korea. Guard underground gatherings, strengthen leaders, and comfort prisoners of faith. Let revival burn in hidden places. Shield families, bless children, and let the gospel advance with power. Prayer Points Pray for protection over the persecuted Church. Ask God to strengthen believers in dangerous nations. Pray for courage for secret gatherings. Intercede for prisoners of faith. Declare that Jesus is present in every hidden church. Pray for families torn apart by persecution. Ask for angelic protection. Thank God that His kingdom grows even under pressure.

Send us your feedback — we're listening1 Peter 4:12–13 — Faith Under Fire: Prayer for the Persecuted Church“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.” — 1 Peter 4:12–13 (NIV)Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper.Across China, Iran, North Korea and Somalia, believers meet in secret, whispering the name of Jesus where faith is forbidden or watched. Many search quietly for “prayer for persecuted Christians,” “underground church,” and “courage to stand for Christ.” Scripture tells us these trials do not mean God has forgotten His people. In the fire, their faith is being refined and His glory is being revealed.In hidden rooms, prison cells and quiet homes, followers of Jesus risk jobs, freedom and safety to stay loyal to Him. The world may not see them, but heaven does. Their courage strengthens the whole body of Christ. Their worship in the dark is as precious to God as any song in a crowded church.Lord Jesus, we pray for Your persecuted church in China, Iran, North Korea, Somalia and every nation where faith in You is costly. Protect secret gatherings. Hide believers from those who seek to harm them. Strengthen prisoners of faith. Comfort families separated by persecution. Provide food, shelter and safe places to meet. Give boldness to pastors and house church leaders. Let Your word spread with power even in the hardest places.Prayer focus: Pray for protection over underground and secret churches; pray for prisoners of faith to know the nearness of Christ; pray for courage, joy and endurance under pressure; pray for children growing up in fear to encounter the love of Jesus; pray for governments and authorities to be softened and changed by the gospel; thank God for the courage and faithfulness of persecuted believers.Life application: Remember the persecuted church in your daily prayers. Ask God to make your own faith bold, steady and unashamed.Declaration: Jesus is Lord over every persecuted believer. His glory will be revealed and His church will stand.Call to action: Share this prayer and help others stand with the persecuted church through DailyPrayer.UK.Support the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Revelation 19 : 16 reminds us that no authority can overthrow the throne of Christ. His Kingdom stands unshaken, and His Church prevails through suffering and faith.Paragraph 2 – Reflection Persecution reveals the purity of faith.

Fewer people are getting married in our culture, and many who do get married tend to delay the pursuit of marriage until they are well into their 20s and 30s. This low view of marriage has also seeped into the church so that many Christians have lost sight of a biblical view of marriage. In this message from Colossians 3:18–19, David Platt points the church to God's good design in marriage, including the way husbands and wives are to reflect Christ's love for the church in the way they relate to one another. We hope you'll join us for Secret Church 25 on April 11.

The fact that over 3 billion people in the world are unreached—meaning they have little or no access to the gospel—highlights the scope and the urgency of the church's mission. It's a mission in which every follower of Christ has a role to play, and God has provided unprecedented opportunities for the church to spread the gospel today. Yet, as David Platt reminds us in this message from the book of Acts, prayer is crucial to the accomplishment of this mission, for it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that the church can be faithful and effective in the task of making disciples of all nations.
