As the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold, many of us have become tone deaf to the mainstream media news-and for good reason. The endless analysis of what’s being done and not being done have caused many of us to inwardly groan. We’d rather get back to the business of living.

Whether that’s the case with you or not, there’s one aspect of this crisis that’s rarely, if ever, discussed on the news. But it’s one you’ll want to be aware of, and that is the devastating economic effect the worldwide lock down is having on the persecuted church.

Those that were already subjected to criticism and harassment in largely Muslim countries are experiencing increasing hatred and threats directed at them because they call themselves Christians.

In some instances, they’re blamed for the Coronavirus pandemic and restricted even more when it comes to business, travel, and worship. Because of the quarantine, they can’t make a living and there’s no government to bail them out.

It’s in these moments that the Christian persecuted Church has the opportunity to exchange evil with good and hatred with love. At great cost to themselves, these persecuted believers are sharing food and necessities with the poorest of the poor affected by the Coronavirus policies.

Our guest on this program is going to help us understand how to pray and help our fellow persecuted Christians.
