What can i do?

"In our ministry to the Persecuted Church, we meet with many who have been imprisoned, tortured, and face death simply for standing firm in their faith in Jesus Christ. These Brothers and Sisters have so much to teach us about perseverance in the midst of suffering, hope for the eternal, and boldness and joy in the face of persecution. God has filled them with joy because they have dedicated themselves totally to His service. 


"In all the years that I've traveled to visit and encourage the Persecuted Church, they always ask for the same things. First, for prayer, and second - Bibles! Not once have they asked us to pray that the persecution end, but they ask that we pray they will remain faithful.


"Hebrews 13:3 says, 'Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them, and those who are suffering since you also are in the Body.'


"I encourage you to get to know the Persecuted Church in a very personal way - by meeting those who are persecuted! They are standing in the gap for us, doing the work that we cannot do, which is reaching their fellow countrymen with the Good News about Jesus Christ."


In His Glad Service,

Dr. Pat

Choose one, or all of these ways to help the Persecuted Church

  • Prayer is the most powerful thing we can do, and when we partner with God in this area, mountains are moved. Above all other things, prayer is the one thing that transcends country boundaries, time, and our own limited resources. God moves when we pray! Prayer warriors are the front line in the spiritual battle all around us, and the battle is especially fierce in countries that have no religious freedom. 

  • Sign up to receive our free monthly Prayer Letter, which highlights stories of persecution and provides updates about our persecuted Brothers and Sisters in Christ. There is also a prayer list on the back page of the Prayer Letter to help your prayer time be focused on specific requests and urgent needs. Our email Prayer Alerts are sent when we need urgent prayer support for more immediate needs. 

  • Living Stones provides aid and relief to Christians who are suffering from persecution (read some of their stories here). We also provide thousands of Bibles for the Persecuted. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all donations are tax deductible.

  • READ and share about the persecuted church

    Staying informed is vital to our purpose of sharing these stories and encouraging, praying for, and helping those who are in the midst of terrible persecution. Reading these books will help provide context and understanding of the issues surrounding persecution of Christians. And when we are informed and passionate about helping persecuted believers, we want to share it with others. Our Brothers and Sisters in Christ need to know they are not alone, and not forgotten.



  • GO

    As Dr. Pat noted above, meeting persecuted Christians makes an impact like nothing else. Even if you can't go to another country, the Bible is clear in telling us we must go into our neighborhoods, our cities, our states... wherever God is nudging you to tell the Good News of Jesus Christ... be obedient and go! Read the Travel Journals of those who have gone on trips with Living Stones to various countries, and the life-changing impact of meeting Persecuted Believers face-to-face. We pray you'll be encouraged and burdened to pray!
