MESSAGE FROM GREG FRIZZELL: An Urgent Call to Prayer for Persecuted Believers “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them — those who are mistreated — since you yourselves are in the body also.” (Hebrews 13:2) “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word: that they all may be one, as You Father are in Me and I in You that they may also be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.” (John 17:20-21) “And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it……But now indeed there are many members yet one body.” (1 Corinthians 12:20a, 12:26a) In the last few hours I have received some inside information that the persecution of the Churches in Egypt is even far worse than media reports suggest. The potential for a massive blood bath is great and growing. Virtually nothing is as vital as fervent intercession for persecuted believers and Gospel witness to their persecutors. Our brothers and sisters in Egypt and other lands of persecution are truly on the front line of spreading Christ’s gospel. I also encourage specific prayers for Saeed Abedini (American pastor imprisoned in Iran) and Kenneth Bae (American missionary imprisoned in North Korea). Little is more urgent than intense intercession for lands of persecution. Conversely, little could be a greater failure than to give only casual thought to our brothers and sisters on the front line. Let us fast, pray and raise our voices for Christ’s Church in this critical day! May it not be said of us, “I was in prison and you visited Me not.” (Matthew 25:43)
