42 years of ministry to the persecuted Church

February of 2024 marks 42 years of Dr. Pat traveling and encouraging persecuted Believers around the world! She spent the first ten years visiting Communist countries, but for the past thirty+ years she has traveled primarily to Muslim Majority Countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Brother Dave began traveling with Dr. Pat and encouraging our Brothers and Sisters in those regions in 2017. We are privileged to share stories of persecution and hope through our prayer letters. We will share some on our website here, but please, if you are not currently receiving our free monthly Prayer Letters, sign up today!

about us

Living Stones International (LSI) was founded in l992 (as News Service 2000) for the sole purpose of helping the Persecuted Church around the world. Our personnel have traveled in communist countries in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. However, much of the work of Living Stones today is focused on Muslim Majority Countries, with ongoing projects in the Middle East and North Africa.

Our speakers

Dr. Pat has been speaking at churches/events for 30 years and more, bringing light to the plight of persecuted Christians around the world. A dynamic speaker, Dr. Pat tells of the suffering and pain that happens when new believers encounter the fury of those opposed to the gospel of Christ, and encourages us to pray for them - both the Christians and their persecutors.


Brother Dave has been a speaker for Living Stones since 2016, and welcomes the opportunity and privilege of speaking on behalf of our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. Bringing into focus the many needs for prayer, protection, and provision of those suffering, Brother Dave allows the Church in America to see what persecution looks like, and to respond in the way the Lord leads them.


Dr. Pat and Brother Dave are available to speak at your church or event! Just call our office at 763-753-5664 for more information.
