Summary

SummaryI’m Rebecca, and I’m deeply moved to share what God is doing through the persecuted Church. Alongside my friend Mark, we share incredible updates from Nigeria to Iraq to the Philippines. I was especially touched by Ayuba from Nigeria, who forgave those who betrayed his father’s life to militants—his heart changed through prayer 🙏. In the Philippines, Muslim children are encountering Jesus through storytelling 🌱📖. In Nicaragua, church leaders are staying strong despite rising pressure 😔. Mimi’s family in Iraq, once displaced by ISIS, now runs a farm by God’s grace 🌾. But what broke me most was seeing survivors in Kasindi, DRC—despite losing loved ones in a church bombing, they lifted their voices in praise 🎶❤️. Their faith is fierce. Through every trial, I see God’s strength shine in the most fragile places.

Join Rebecca and Mark as they share some good news stories and answers to prayer from the persecuted church to encourage your prayers.
