Underground Church

 


There has been an underground assembly of believers in Yahusha somewhere since right after He resurrected. In the west, during my lifetime, we have  heard about the underground church in China and N. Korea. But with the current anti faith sentiment around the world, we are likely to see underground believers in every region over the earth. 

Right now Christian faith leaders are reporting a surge in the number of believers.  From nearly every denomination,  and in many different countries, people are coming to faith in Yahusha/Jesus. This is encouraging indeed. At the same time, persecution and martyrdom against those who have faith in Yahusha/Jesus has also surged. 

  • In 2024, ten anti-abortion activists were sentenced to Federal prison for praying in front of a Washington DC abortion clinic
  • Also in 2024, Adam Smith Connor, a British Army vet was convicted of praying near an abortion clinic.
  • 2023-2025 Isbel Vaughan Spruce was arrested twice for silent prayer in the United Kingdom.
  • 2025 in the US. Matthew Connolly was sentenced to jail for silent prayer. 
  • 2025 Five faith leaders were arrested for praying inside the US Capitol Rotunda. 
  • 2018 Nine people were arrested for praying on the steps of the Supreme Court Building.  

With research I discovered that over the years people have been imprisoned in 77 countries for their religious beliefs. Open Doors International reports that over 4,700 Christians were arrested and imprisoned in 2025 for their faith in Yahusha/Jesus. Some reports claim that tens of thousands of followers of Yahusha/Jesus are held in North Korea prison camps, and over 1,000 are detained in Eritrea. Around 4,700 Christians were detained or sentenced in 2025 to the current date of  April 2026. Over 388 million Christians experience persecution and discrimination according to the reports from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. Open Doors International tells us 3,302 followers of Yahusha/Jesus were abducted, 5202 were raped, sexually harassed, or forcibly married to non-Christians. Thirteen Christians are killed daily for their faith somewhere over the world. I periodically communicate with a believer in Pakistan for prayer, and she recently ask for prayer concerning the forced marriages and conversions. 

Recently, Ben Shapiro, a well known media voice,  mentioned the 7 Noahide Laws. If you're not familiar with this term, do your research.  Several countries,  including the US, have legal documentation regarding these laws. On the surface many believers would find them acceptable, the ten commandments are part of this set of laws. But, what you don't see on the surface is that faith in Yahusha/Jesus is considered blasphemy and punishable by death, not any death, no! Decapitation is the method to bring about this death. References at the bottom. But please educate yourself on this subject. 

Will the Underground Church be in your future? Will you need to go into hiding to worship your Savior?

What Being Poor Taught Me

Image
  Throw back Pic from 1985 I am so glad I have had the experience of being poor. I learned to be resourceful,  creative, and self reliant. I can feed a lot on a little and make it taste good.  I learned about natural, aka alternative, medicine. We couldn't afford doctors or pharmaceuticals. I learned what is important and necessary and what is not. I learned I can survive off what I can carry in a backpack.  Most things are just extra baggage.  I learned to be thankful for each day's provision. When I was 20 I was homeless, living out of my car at Lake Parsons near Parsons Kansas. We, Johnny Bill and I, ate all the fish we could catch and some nice folks gave us eggs. I never ate so many eggs in my whole life.  For a few years after this,  I didn't eat eggs at all.  Same with PB&J, during my first pregnancy I ate PB&J every day. Someone gave me commodity peanut butter, a huge can of it.  I didn't let it go to waste.   I lear...

Something is Askew

Image
  On June 13th I woke up with a gut feeling I haven't been able to dismiss. At first it was something I "felt" but couldn't see. It was in my peripheral vision. Like a word on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't recall it. It was a few hours before I was aware of Israel moving against Iran. But knowing what happened didn't dismiss that feeling of something wasn't right.  I hear voices from all sides, yet none of those give me comfort. Today is the 17th and things are happening quite quickly.  Clearly many things are askew, but still the gut feeling persists. I sense there is a trick I must watch out for. When our focus is in one area, screwy stuff is happening elsewhere.  I know my Rock,  Yahusha, and I'm not afraid,  but I feel like I'm being cautioned.  Feelings don't really account for much overall, they can ebb and flow as the tide, change like the wind. My foundation of understanding must be secured to the Word of Yah, my Bible. Hav...

One-Liner Verses

Image
I have noticed how we, as Bible believing Christians, are quick with one-liner verses. We have scripture memorized, stored in our hearts, and freely throw them into conversation. Sometimes very much out of context. "he who is without sin, cast the first stone", "judge not", "don't let anyone judge you by what you eat, or drink", "I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me". Each of these phrases, and many others like them,  show up in specific stories, with specific meaning for that situation. Not to be thrown into any and every conversation. Yet it happens. I have also noticed how, many of us, as Bible believing Christians, operate under the assumption that each word written in Scripture is directed to  us. Not true. These words were many times for specific people, under specific circumstances, with a specific purpose. Something from which we can glean understanding and deeper insight, but not direct instructions for us. But if we do...
