Verses to inspire those who are persecuted

Whether you live in the United States or in North Korea, you are persecuted in some way for being a Christian. Praying and reading scripture is one way for us to help people in countries that can't read the Bible or pray out loud. For us in America we have the right of free religion and with that can pray for others in different areas around the world.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12

Here is a list of the top persecuted countries, ways you can pray for the people, and what their statistics and information are for a specific country. It is one of Open Doors lists and it can be found at the website listed below:
