Unwavering Faith: Global Christians Face Persecution with Courage and Hope

Friends, as I reflect on the challenges facing believers worldwide, it’s vital we stay informed and prayerful. A critical event is approaching that will shed light on the profound suffering and inspiring resilience of our persecuted family in Christ.

  • Who: Sarah E. Makin, a dedicated advocate for religious freedom, former senior advisor to President Trump and Vice President Pence, and impactful filmmaker, will speak.
  • Where: At CPAC’s Christian Persecution Summit in Washington, D.C., held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Terrace Theatre on October 30, 2025.
  • What happened: Drawing on her extensive frontline experience, Makin will expose the brutal reality of global Christian persecution – from church seizures and forced conversions in Russian-occupied Ukraine to imprisonment, surveillance, and systematic erasure of heritage facing believers in places like China, North Korea, Africa, and the Middle East. She will call for urgent, unified action to defend the vulnerable.

As followers of Christ, we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). The suffering of our Christian brothers and sisters across the globe is not distant news; it is a direct assault on the body of Christ. Their unwavering commitment to faith in the face of imprisonment, violence, and systematic oppression serves as a powerful testament to God’s sustaining grace. We must stand with them – through prayer, advocacy, and informed action – not only to uphold fundamental human rights but, more importantly, to honor our shared Lord and support those who courageously bear His name under immense duress. Our silence should never be mistaken for indifference.

Prayer Point: Please join me in prayer for Sarah E. Makin, that God would grant her continued wisdom, protection, and a prophetic voice as she advocates for religious freedom and exposes injustice. Let us also pray for supernatural strength and unwavering faith for every persecuted Christian, especially those facing imprisonment, torture, or death, that they may sense God’s tangible presence and be a radiant light in the deepest darkness.
