PREPARE TO STAND

The “Prepare to Stand” video series has been created to help Christians prepare for difficulties which we believe lie ahead of us. History reveals that over the centuries, persecution has been a normal part of most Christian lives. Since Jesus was executed, His followers around the world have often suffered deeply for their beliefs. We are concerned that persecution for Christians is increasing in the world, and our focus is on preparing the hearts of Christians to be faithful to the end.

Prepare to Stand is simply a tool for Jesus’ Church. In each 15–20-minute video, Pastor Andrew Brunson adds practical insights from his time of suffering for his faith in a Turkish prison, and from his life as a pastor in a non-Christian world. The videos are full of Andrew’s no-nonsense answers for enduring adversities and persecution, learned the hard way. The videos are designed to be used on their own or with the accompanying Study Guide, as best fits each person or group.

More about Andrew and his wife, Norine, can be found at www.wavestarters.org.
