The Fifth Seal

  • Summary

  • The Fifth Seal is a podcast to bring awareness to the persecuted Christian Church around the world. Using the World Watch List, released annually by Open Doors USA, I'll count down the worst 50 countries for Christians based on the persecution the Christians in those countries endure. The podcast is bi-weekly January-October, then daily throughout the Month of November, which is Persecuted Church Awareness Month. The name comes from Revelation 6:9-11 'When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

    Pastors Wounded in Separate Attacks in Uganda and prayer points for World Watch List #2 - North Korea

    PRAY FOR NORTH KOREA
    • Christians in North Korea are in danger. Pray for Christians who worship secretly, Christians who are in prison, and the families of Christians who have been arrested or killed. Ask God to be with these believers and to strengthen them to find hope and see His hand at work in their lives.
    • Pray for the heart of Kim Jong Un and the other leaders of the North Korean regime. The Kim family has led for so long and brutally opposed God’s people. Pray for a change of heart, that Kim might see the beauty of the gospel and the love Jesus has for him.
    • Open Doors’ networks in China are vital to keep the North Korean church up and running—many of the Christians who make it to our safe houses in China return home, equipped to carry the gospel to small pockets of believers. Pray for the success and safety of these safe houses, and for the travels of North Korean Christians who make the dangerous trek to and from China.

    Pastor Jailed in Sudan for Prayer Meeting to Heal Mother and prayer points for World Watch List #3 - Somalia

    PRAY FOR SOMALIA
    • Continue to pray for peace in Somalia and success in establishing democracy even as the country deals with political upheaval, the constant threat of al-Shabab and the effects of decades of civil war.
    • Nearly 100% of Somalis are Muslim, and there is no room for Christians. Islam is the state religion—only Islam can be promoted and Shariah law is the highest authority. Pray that God would continue to build up His people in Somalia despite these realities.
    • Open Doors has been supporting Somali believers across the Horn of Africa since the 1990s. Our vision is to see followers of Christ grow to maturity in their faith and to have nurturing relationships amid persecution. Pray for God’s wisdom and protection over the work and that our efforts will bear much fruit.
