In May 2025, a video went out showing young Britishschoolchildren being prompted to prostrate themselves and pray Islamic prayers. This “instruction” is unfolding across the United Kingdom—and often. These lessons occur every week during assigned terms. Most parents – and most Christians – have no clue any of this is taking place.And when people do discover all of this, they recognize itfor what it is: indoctrination. How is it that in a historical Christian country, children are being conditioned in Islam? Mark Heath joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to alerteveryone to what is going on. As a British Christian and parent, Mark was shocked to learn that these “lessons” were being taught in the local school. He spoke up, and others must speak up as well. Even Christians in other westernnations need to be aware of this practice, and intentionally engage their school systems to find out what is going on.

The Nevius Method: A Strategy for Strong, Self-Supporting Churches, with James Cha (Encore)
Indigenous Christians in Uzbekistan have a heart to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to other nations. Praise God! However, many are unable to support these missionary efforts themselves. Is it just because they are live in a less affluent region? Or is there something more at play?Local churches across the globe need to be self-propagating, self-governing and self-supporting. This last feature is often poorly developed or overlooked. James Cha, former missionary and Christian leader, joins theChristian Emergency Podcast to unpack what this means for the Church.The Nevius Method is a missionary approach that emphasizes these three themes, in addition to healthy theology. The method is based off the approach used by John Livingstone Nevius, a missionary to China in the 19th Century. His method made a big impact on how Christianswere discipled in China and Korea.James suggests that this simple approach, rooted in simple obedience, would improve the health and strength of many local churches today. This is true of churches in Central Asia, Africa and even the West. Listen and learn how this could apply for missionaries overseas and also in your local fellowship.If Christians faithfully tithe, even if they have little to offer, the effects are profound. On this episode, James shares from his personal experience to show how missionaries and Christians should consider incorporating the Nevius Method in their own settings.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

107. Persecution Update: Nigeria, Syria and Pakistan
As April 2025 merged into May, much has happened acrossChristendom. In this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Andy examines some recent events that affected the Church. First we look to Nigeria, where it was recently admittedthat an attack on Christians in a recent Easter parade was done intentionally. Contrary to early claims by police, who insisted the 18-wheel truck slammed into thebelievers because of a brake malfunction, an investigation revealed that this was in fact a brazen assault. Also in Nigeria we discuss the recent killing of an indigenousmissionary named Peter Emmanuel. Peter was targeted because he helped a Christians convert who came to faith from a Muslim Background. In Syria, we look at recent intimidation efforts targetingthe Valley of the Christians and other Christian villages. We also discuss a recent incident where Christian college students were assaulted because they were in the presence of a fellow student, who happened to be a female. Finally, we wrap up with a look to the Sindh Province ofPakistan. A drought is wreaking havoc there, which is making life especially difficult for local Christian converts. There are many challenges in Pakistan, but we also glimpse the joy that still comes from following Christ through difficulties.
