Why Josiah Queen Is Giving Away ‘Damascus Road’ Proceeds
At A Glance: Josiah Queen is dedicating 100% of the proceeds of all CD and vinyl sales of Damascus Road to persecuted Christians. He explains why on The Jesus People Podcast with GCR ambassador Ryan Miller.
Pray →Redeemer, we lift up Josiah Queen and his generous heart for the persecuted church, as he dedicates all proceeds from 'Damascus Road' to support them. You are the One who shines light in darkness, and through this music, may the witness of Your love reach those in despair and need. Multiply the impact of these funds beyond what we ask or imagine, reaching believers hidden in troubled lands. As Saul was transformed on his journey, bring encounters with Jesus to those who persecute Your followers today. Stir courage in every believer strengthened by this support, that they might proclaim Your truth with boldness. Let this offering open doors for the Gospel to spread where it seems most unlikely. In the power of Christ's name, Amen.
Christian Woman Rescued After More Than Four Years in ADF Captivity in DR Congo
A Christian woman abducted by Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) fighters in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) in 2022 has been rescued by Ugandan soldiers after more than four years in captivity.
Pray →Lord of Hosts, we give thanks for the rescue of Your daughter from captivity in the DR Congo. You are the One who sets prisoners free and brings them into broad places. Guard her heart and mind as she heals, and let Your peace surpass all understanding within her. We ask that You reveal Jesus to her captors, that they may be transformed by the love and truth of Christ. May this testimony spread through the communities of DR Congo, and may many come to know You through it. Let Your light break forth in darkness, and strengthen Your church there with courage and resilience. For Your glory and renown in all the earth. Amen.

On the morning of Nov. 10, gunfire shattered the quiet along the Mandera-Arabia road in the Hagarsu area of Mandera County, Kenya. Somali-based al-Shabab militants ambushed Christian construction workers inspecting a road project.
Pray →Everlasting God, we lift up the people of Mandera, grieving over the attack on Christian workers. You are our refuge and strength in times of trouble. Comfort those families who have lost loved ones, and guard the hearts of believers there from fear and despair. Expose the plans of those who seek to do harm, and show Your power by turning even their hearts toward grace. Let Jesus be revealed to these communities, softening the ground for the Good News to take root. Strengthen the church in Kenya to stand as a light, proclaiming peace and forgiveness boldly. To You belongs power, glory, and all dominion through Christ our Lord. Amen.
