At first glance, this little prayer book may look like a book of prayers to pray for the persecuted body of Jesus. And if that’s what you thought, you’re correct—it is. However, it is also a prayer book intended for all who hear the call to come Away, to seek the presence and communion of the King of the Universe.
Prayer is the home of the burning heart. Here we find that we are known, seen, understood, allowed, and called. We are called to intimacy and intercession, but it doesn’t end there, prayer upends the whole of our lives, in the best of ways. Our work is simply to do our part: to come. We come before our Father in heaven with intent, and we learn to call this prayer.
This book has been created to come alongside followers of Jesus wherever this finds you. You are not alone. Through our prayers and living faithfully together the message of Jesus continues to spread a great light. So, come away…
What is The Martyrs’ Cross?
It is the prayer tool pictured below. Production is actually currently paused and we’re not sure when we’ll begin again. But here’s the thing, we’re also a family, there are tens of thousands Martyrs’ crosses out in the world being WORN by both Christians living in hostile or restricted nations as well as ones with more freedom.
We are wearing it around our necks to pray for each other, especially to remember persecuted followers of Jesus, and their persecutors around the world in prayer and loving action. But if you don’t have one around your neck, you can still join us.
Some people call it jewelry, and that’s alright, but to us it’s more. To us, it’s a WAY. The Martyrs’ Cross is a message we wear around our hearts and minds.
Worn in over 26 nations by believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who are giving up all to know Him, The Martyrs’ Cross is a symbol of remembrance and solidarity. Our message is clear: we will not forget, we will pray. And they are praying for us too.
Join us in prayer through our new book, Beloved Prayers: A Martyrs’ Cross Prayer Book for the Persecuted. We are pausing to place our eyes on the beauty and truth of God. We remember our family, we remember we are family, together. Join us.

The Martyrs’ Cross is a family. We are a community of love and prayer.
By God’s grace and with a commitment to believing in His faithfulness:
We fight for awareness for all of us in the midst of a culture of distraction. When life gets crushing, we will remember how Jesus suffered and as 1 Peter 4:13 says be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.

We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer. If we are true intercessors, we must be ready to take part in God’s work on behalf of the people for whom we pray.
Corrie ten Boom
Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.
Mother Teresa
Come! say the Spirit and the Bride.
Whoever hears, echo,Come!
Is anyone thirsty? Come!
All who will, come and drink,
Drink freely of the Water of Life!
~Revelation 22:17
As the pastor’s wife, I have often told youngsters a story of the boy who stood on the shore and waved to a ship at sea. A man beside him said, Don’t be silly. The steamer will not change its course because you wave. But the ship turned, came to shore and picked up the boy. From the bridge he shouted, Sir, I’m not a fool. The captain is my father! We also know that he who steers the universe on its course is our Father and that He hears our prayers.

“Let us make revolutionists and terrorists a matter of prayerful concern, asking that they may use their energies in the service of peaceful reforms.
