The youth pastor of Hillsong Youth in Australia has expressed his support of the upcoming global youth prayer event for the some 200 million persecuted Christians.

"Hey, let's be people that are serious about our faith and assisting and supporting those who are in tough situation right now. We can do that by simply gathering on Mar. 2 for SHOCKWAVE and praying and believing for a shockwave to go out across our world and impact those and encourage those whose faith is being tested right now."

Thousands across the globe will pray for some of the 200 million Christians who suffer because of their faith during a non-stop prayer for the Muslim world on Mar. 2-4. The three-day youth prayer event is organised by Underground, the youth ministry of Open Doors and will be the fifth annual SHOCKWAVE.

"Our brothers and sisters have told us what they need. First, and most important, they have begged us to pray!" said Brother Andrew, founder of Open Doors in a statement.
