11 October 2025 – North Korea​

Sadly North Korean defectors who are Christians are often influenced by cults. Pray that they would be increasingly rooted in the Word of God and established in their faith.

10 October 2025 – North Korea​

Pray for ‘Mrs GS’, a defector living in South Korea who was previously the head of an underground church network in North Korea. After one of her church members was caught and interrogated by the authorities, she fled in order to avoid arrest.

09 October 2025 – North Korea​

Pray for ‘Cheol-ju Park’, a young man whose mother and father were sent to a concentration camp after engaging in Christian activities. Cheol-ju and his siblings have grown up without parents and are still trying to make sense of their relationship with the Christian faith.

08 October 2025 – North Korea​

Please pray for ‘Seo Gyeong-hee’. A member of her underground church network asked her to connect with somebody in another location but, while doing so, she was stopped and interrogated by the authorities. She was released but now lives with the trauma of her experience.

07 October 2025 – Nigeria​

Praise God that work to build a new home for Pastor Gideon Dawell is progressing. Gideon lost his wife and five children in a Fulani attack on Christmas Eve 2023 (see Voice, Oct-Dec 2024). Pray that there would be no delays to the building project.

06 October 2025 – Nigeria​

Pray for Daniel Tagwi, and his wife Jessica, as they prepare to graduate from theological college. Daniel was called to ministry after his brother, Matthew, a pastor in rural Nigeria, was martyred. Pray that Daniel would be wise and trust in God’s guidance.

05 October 2025 – Nigeria​

Pray for the peace and good governance of Nigeria, especially that the authorities would act to protect all citizens and bring to justice perpetrators of attacks against Christian communities.
