Listen as Pastor Joe shares the struggles many new Christians in North Africa face when they believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Yet, people in the region are coming to Christ like never before!
Christians in North Africa often pay a huge price for following Christ. They are rejected by family, lose jobs and face other forms of persecution when they tell others of their faith in Jesus. Many of these persecuted Christians don’t know how each day will end. They rely on the Lord for strength and hope, despite their fear.
Listen as Pastor Joe shares the story of a young woman in his congregation who was overjoyed to share her new faith with her family. But when she did, she was beaten and thrown into the streets. Her own mother told her, “I would rather know that my daughter became a prostitute than a Christian.”
Pastor Joe encourages listeners to not flee from danger and potentially miss blessings and service that God has planned for us. He reminds us that Jesus came to earth knowing He would suffer. He says that, as a Christian, we should also know that persecution will come.
Hear the story of one young man who encouraged other believers until the final moments of his life. In addition, Joe shares of a married couple who kept their faith a secret from each other-until they ran into each other at a Christian meeting!
Pray God would call believers in North Africa to stay in their communities and serve. Pray Pastor Joe and his family will remain faithful to the Lord and His calling on their lives and for continued protection over their ministry.

Thank God for the work in North Africa. I pray for his grace and strength upon the suffering believers in North Africa and other parts of the world, as Christ builds his church and the gates of hell shall not prevail, in Jesus' name. Amen.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”
“If God is for us, who can be against us?" 🙌🙏❤️🔥
Prayers for this Pastor and all persecuted believers in North Africa 🙏 in Jesus Name
I am listening in Mexico (north/center) and is so inspiring each of the testimonies you share. Thank God for your ministry thru the radio; it's just a big blessing. So many times we are so used to the violence and crime around, we tend to forget what is to really suffer because of Him and live our life as believers with very low standards, and forget we are part of the Lord's body -and responsible for its well being, no matter where. God bless you all and support every aspect of your journey. And yes, I am praying -it's a privilege and an opportunity to get ready for what may come...
Please pray for the salvation of my family - especially Charles. Thank you!
For all our brothers sisters in faith all over the world, especially them who are persecuted and oppressed,: the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord shines His Face upon you, and be gracious to you, may the Lord look upon you and give you Shalom.

I’m still Praying for you
From india love
I pray for you, your ministry and family. You receive strength in your inner man, the Bible says "thou the outward man perisheth, the inward man is renewed day by day" you receive fresh insights, renewed vigor in your ministry. His right hand is upon you, and yours. Mighty works are wrought through you. In Jesus Name! Amen.
You're an inspiration, brother
Jesus told us that we would be hated and persecuted for His sake. Soft western Christians have forgotten this. Christians in Muslim-majority countries have not. God bless those who suffer for Christ.

Dear Lord Jesus I thank you for my brothers and sisters in North Africa and all your Saints around the world and who live in countries like North Africa and other Muslim or non tolerant dangerous countries to who follow you LORD JESUS ❤️🙏🏼 I Praise and thank you JESUS who bore our sins for us on the Cross that we are the ones who deserve to be persecuted for our sins because we all sin against a Holy God ( Psalm 8:4
what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?, ) you did it all because you obeyed your Father our Father who 1st loved us and now because you who knew NO sin became sin for us and took our punishment , died ,& rose from the dead on the 3rd day & conquered death so those of us wretched sinners if we believe in YOU , repent and flee to follow you , our merciful loving faithful SAVIOR the only beloved SON of the living HOLY HOLY HOLY God, Praise the LORD those of us who believe and have faith in your loving eternal gift to us will have eternal life praising YOU LORD JESUS forever & ever ❤️🙏🏼Thank you as YOU are sitting on your throne you are interceding for us …….we Praise you and thank you and ask YOU boldly Lord to send more young men , young couples to be , teachers , helpers , men to be Preachers and raise up young men to be elders and Preachers right there in there homeland where you put them ( us ) and raise them ( us) up for YOUR WILL or if You call them ( us) somewhere else they ( we) use wisdom, discernment and to be honest and talk with their ( our ) preacher and elders and that they ( we)are not just running away to where they ( we ) think the grass is greener but this I learned , the grass always looks greener till you get there if your running from God …..The Bible says 2Timothy 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but go after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Isaiah 5:20-24
King James Version
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ( all that is already happening everywhere 🥲)
It doesn’t matter where you live we as followers of Christ have our own individual Crosses to bear and the above is already happening here and every where and getting worse 🥲I pray because I believe if I’m still living God willing ❤️🙏🏼We here in the west and every where will see persecution, we are already seeing intolerance , preachers being arrested , getting citations, we see violence, hatefulness, truth just doesn’t matter and as the Bible says there will come a that day in several places different ways everything will be turned upside down …. evil will be good and good will be evil …..etc……( but I admit it is easy for me to say don’t flee a place that is dangerous I haven’t been tested to that point , so please pray for me too if and when I am ,I don’t shame the Lord Jesus whore bore the punishment for my sins and run away from whatever God is calling me to do ( THANK GOD JESUS DIED FOR A SINNER LIKE ME IN NEED THE SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST , I need HIM daily , hourly , every minute ❤️🙏🏼I don’t know what it is like where you live or what you go through ❤️🙏🏼I can only imagine from the truth of the Bible what Jesus and His disciples and followers went through and is why I listen and subscribe to Voice of the Martyrs on CZcams to educate myself , to add to my pray life and remind myself the body of Christ is everywhere and all Saints need to pray for all Saints , Can you imagine if we did that pray ever day in the morning the afternoon and before we go to bed pray that we all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ( please pray that for me as I pray for you , please pray my life becomes richer and deeper in praying and never missing a day and more times throughout the day that I’m consistent in my prayer list , that my faith grows , I have more courage , I trust completely always and so much more but could you imagine if all the saints were praying daily for each other along those lines from the WORD ( BIBLE ) of GOD for all the Saints everywhere, WOW ❤️🙏🏼I pray to YOU LORD JESUS who call them to spread YOUR Gospel in dangerous times & countries, that you will give them ( us ) courage, strength , spread your wings over all us , go before them ( us) , beside them ( us) and after them ( us ) , HE is with you ( us) as you ( we)proclaim YOUR GOSPEL of Salvation with boldness through YOU JESUS CHRIST with the help of the Holy Spirit ( our comforter , our Spirit of wisdom (Eph. 1:17). “As such He imparts to us discernment and skill to apply biblical knowledge to real life. ( Lord please remind , encourage us to read YOUR Bible ( YOUR WORD ) daily to pray daily for all the Saints everywhere to pray for our enemies as well because we were once your enemy
He is the Spirit of revelation in the knowledge of God (Eph. 1:17). As such He reveals to us the person of God to enhance our relationship with God and keep us from ritualism., that YOU are the only way the truth and the life there is no other way to be reconciled to God the Father and have eternal life . I pray for “ Preacher Joe “ and all my sisters and brothers there in North Africa and everywhere to not run off to another country unless God calls you and 1st seek wisdom be of good courage Im going to ask my Pastor for us to start praying for you all and all the Saints regularly at Bible Study and The Lord’s Day ❤️🙏🏼” The Lord isthe foundation upon which I build my life. You are my source of protection and strength. You fight for me, protect me, and lead me through hard times. With You, I am never alone or abandoned Thank You for being my source of strength and salvation. Thank You for crushing the devil's schemes and guiding me closer to You. IYou can draw joy from the wells of salvation by recalling His blessings to you. You can draw joy by reading and declaring truth from His word. You can draw joy by singing songs of praise to God. His joy is always available to you if you will draw it out! “ In Jesus' name,
Amen.

A true witness...
It's Amazing, The real Christians are coming from islamic countries and some parts of my India.
Fear not little flocks. Place all your trust in Christ in all his way you see his power at work. The legions of Satan will not disrupt your calling to teach the lord everlasting love.
7:29 Reminds me of Edward Nangle
How can we give To this
Psalms 34 david king James comfort them holy spirit within your peaceful assurances through the new year amen
Why are telling jewish and christian's people of the book why then they hate us so much...????
What are you talking about?
Which statement in this video did you disagree with, and upon what basis? Give the time stamp.
Jesus says to love your enemies and to forgive everyone who sins against you, and to give your other cheek if someone hits one of your cheeks.
True Christians will not hate you. Have you read the four gospels? Have you read other parts of the Bible?
