A sacred call to defend the persecuted church
by Gregory J. Fellows
Faith is under fire. Silence is no longer an option.
Guardians of the Flame is a powerful call to defend the persecuted Church—revealing the hidden cost of belief today and challenging every Christian to stand watch, take action, and keep the flame of faith alive.
In a world where faith is increasingly pushed to the margins, millions of Christians live under constant threat—for worshipping, for gathering, for believing.
Churches are burned, voices are silenced, families are torn apart, and yet the flame of faith endures. Guardians of the Flame is written for those who refuse to look away.
This book is not a distant report on global suffering, nor a theoretical discussion of religious freedom. It is a call to vigilance, a manifesto of responsibility, and an invitation to action—rooted in the conviction that the persecuted Church is not a separate issue “over there,” but a living part of one global Body.
A Living Flame in a Darkening World
Drawing from real-world testimonies, historical parallels, and contemporary case studies, Guardians of the Flame reveals how persecution manifests today—not only through violence and imprisonment, but through laws, social pressure, digital surveillance, and cultural erasure.
It exposes the silent siege unfolding across continents and challenges the comfortable assumption that faith can be safely practiced without cost.
Yet this is not a book of despair. It is a book of resilience, courage, and hope.
Within these pages, readers encounter underground churches that continue to worship in whispers, families who rebuild sanctuaries from ashes, and believers who choose faithfulness over fear. These stories do more than inform—they summon.
From Ancient Guardianship to Modern Responsibility
At the heart of Guardians of the Flame is a powerful idea: the ancient role of the guardian has not disappeared—it has evolved.
The defenders of today do not carry swords or shields of steel.
Their armour is spiritual. Their weapons are prayer, advocacy, generosity, preparedness, and unwavering solidarity.
Their watch is constant, often unseen, and deeply sacrificial.
Gregory J Fellows draws on the legacy of historical guardianship and chivalric duty to illuminate what it means to stand watch in the modern world. He shows how ordinary believers—pastors, parents, volunteers, professionals, and prayer warriors—are forming networks of protection and hope that span borders, cultures, and denominations.
This book makes one truth unmistakably clear: guardianship is not reserved for a select few—it is the responsibility of all who hear the call.
Faith That Moves Beyond Sympathy
Guardians of the Flame challenges the reader to move beyond passive awareness into purposeful engagement. It explores how prayer becomes strategic intercession, how storytelling becomes advocacy, how giving becomes lifeline, and how preparedness becomes an act of faith rather than fear.
Readers will discover:
How persecution unfolds in both visible and hidden forms
Why prayer remains the spiritual engine of protection
How storytelling and testimony break silence and mobilize action
The role of churches and communities in building resilient networks
Practical ways believers can stand with the persecuted—right now
This is faith lived out with intention. It is belief with consequences.
A Question That Demands an Answer
Guardians of the Flame does not allow the reader to remain neutral.
It asks difficult questions and refuses to offer comfortable distance. It reminds us that when one part of the Body suffers, all are called to respond—and that silence, too, is a choice.
This book is written for those who sense that something more is required of them.
For those who believe the Church must be awake, not asleep.
For those willing to stand watch when others cannot.
The flame still burns.
The watch is ongoing.
And guardians are being called.
If you are ready to answer that call, this book is for you.

Gregory Fellows - Author and historian exploring how enduring values shape institutions, communities, and human service in the modern world.
Gregory J. Fellows is a contemporary author and historian whose work examines how enduring societal values—service, responsibility, ethical leadership, and stewardship—have survived into the modern world through institutions most people assume disappeared centuries ago. Drawing on direct, active involvement with international chivalric and heritage-based organisations operating today as non-government organisations, Fellows offers a rare insider’s perspective on how ancient orders have evolved into quiet but effective forces for humanitarian work, community support, education, and cultural preservation. His writing explores how these institutions function behind the scenes—mobilising volunteers, shaping ethical frameworks, and sustaining long-term civic engagement without fanfare. Rather than romanticising the medieval past, Fellows focuses on continuity: how ideas forged in eras of crisis and uncertainty remain relevant in a world facing fragmentation, institutional distrust, and cultural amnesia. His work connects history to lived practice, showing how legacy organisations adapt to modern legal systems, social expectations, and global humanitarian needs while retaining a moral core rooted in service to others. Blending historical scholarship with contemporary analysis, Fellows writes for readers interested in social resilience, institutional memory, and the mechanisms through which values endure—not as nostalgia, but as active, evolving forces contributing to the betterment of humanity today.
