Secret Church Simulcast 2023
Friday // April 21, 2022 // 6:00pm - Midnight
Gather with your family and friends for Secret Church—a unique, one-night event streamed online to more than 50,000 participants around the world. Encouraged by our persecuted brothers and sisters’ example, we meet for close to 6 hours for intense study of God’s Word and passionate prayer for the persecuted, taught and led by David Platt.
This year, we will take a 6-hour deep dive into the book of Jonah.
Study
Jonah is one of the best known books of the Bible. But beyond the fascinating story of a fish swallowing a man, you will find the challenging account of God’s most unwilling prophet and how, more often than not, we, like Jonah, choose our own comfort over God’s mission. But Jesus shows us a better way. Together we will learn how the gospel drives us to make disciples, not just of people who look and think like us—but of all nations, even those we would consider our enemies.
Pray
Our prayer focus for this year's Secret Church is the church in Iran. We will have an exclusive opportunity from inside Iran to learn about how the Lord is awakening many people and growing his Church despite incredible challenges. Together we’ll join with what God is doing in Iran through our prayers. And together we’ll give to work not just in Iran, but in other countries where Christians are being persecuted, like Yemen and Syria and North Korea.
