Courage in Yemen: A Story of Unshakable Faith
May 21, 2025
Prayer Points
- Pray for courage – That believers in Yemen will be strengthened in their quiet faith despite the risks.
- Pray for access – That more people in closed nations will safely discover the gospel through media like THRU the BIBLE.
- Pray for growth – That those secretly listening will grow in wisdom, faith, and joyful obedience.
God is speaking to believers, even in countries where they would be persecuted for their faith.
That’s the story we reflect on today as we pray for Yemen, a country where following Jesus can be dangerous. Yemen remains one of the most spiritually closed countries in the world, with persecution making the open practice of Christianity nearly impossible. Yet God is working even here. With the help of THRU the BIBLE programs, believers in Yemen are finding spiritual nourishment not through visible churches or study groups, but through radio and online programs often listened to in secret.
Be inspired by this believer’s courage and faithfulness:
“I’ve known the Lord secretly for a few months. While I was trying to locate a place online to learn about my new faith and the Bible, I found THRU the BIBLE. It is so interesting and I listen to it all the time when I’m alone. I try to take notes, to pray, and to dwell on living according to the Lord’s will.”
We thank God for this precious listener, and all believers in Yemen, who are discovering faith in the shadows. Their hunger for God’s truth is a powerful testimony. And what an encouragement for us to keep praying as God draws people to Himself in every country.
As you pray today, lift up Yemen. Ask God to protect new believers and to provide safe access to His Word.
