On the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, Grace Gospel Church turns its attention toward brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering because of their faith in Jesus and toward our own calling to be faithful witnesses where God has placed us. Pastor Tim shares about the persecuted church and the biblical call to remember those who are imprisoned and mistreated as though we were suffering with them. The church is encouraged to pray for believers facing persecution, asking God to strengthen them, sustain their faith, and remind them that they are not alone. Jordan shares about reaching people from different backgrounds with truth, love, patience, and understanding. He challenges believers to resist gossip and assumptions, to genuinely know and care for the people around them, and to recognize that the nations God calls us to reach are often already our neighbors. Emerson then turns to Paul’s charge in 2 Timothy 4 to “preach the word.” He calls believers to remain grounded in the gospel, to be ready in season and out of season, and to correct, rebuke, and encourage with patience and careful instruction. Sharing Christ is not limited to pastors or those with a platform—it is a calling believers can live out in workplaces, schools, restaurants, families, and everyday conversations. The service closes in prayer for persecuted Christians throughout the world and for Grace Gospel Church to become bold, faithful, courageous, gentle, patient, and Spirit-led witnesses in the places God has called them.
