Pray →God of Justice and Defender of the Oppressed, we bring before You the Christian community in Pakistan as they face deadly violence, abductions, and claims of forced conversions. You see the suffering and hear the cries of those who are wronged. Establish Your peace in this land and protect Your people from fear and intimidation. Let the truth of the Gospel shine brightly, even in the midst of darkness, and reveal Jesus to those who persecute and oppress. Raise up leaders who will stand for justice and righteousness, and sustain the faith of believers who hold fast to Your promises. We ask for Your mighty hand to intervene, for the sake of Your name and glory. Amen.

Pray →God of Hope, we lift up the believers in Yunnan, where Sun Chao faces charges for his faithfulness to Your Word. You see the trials faced by those who gather in Your name, and You are their refuge and strength.

Strengthen Sun Chao and his congregation, fortify their courage, and let their faith shine as a witness to those who oppose them. Reveal Jesus to the officials and communities watching this situation, that they may see the light of the world in whom there is no shadow. For the sake of Your glorious name and through the power of Christ our Lord, Amen.

Pray →Lord God of all nations, we lift up the regions where freedom of religion is under threat, where persecution and discrimination seek to silence voices of faith.

Guard those who stand firm for their faith, strengthening them with courage and peace. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute, that their hearts might turn from darkness to light. Let Your truth be a beacon to all who search for hope amid hostility. For the sake of Your great name, let freedom and dignity be restored across these lands. In the name of Jesus, the Light of the World, we pray. Amen.

Reveal Jesus as the light of the world to the armed bandits and those who harbor violence in their hearts, that they may turn from their ways and find peace. Strengthen the believers in South Sudan to stand firm in the faith and to be vessels of Your love and reconciliation. We trust in Your faithfulness, knowing that You are near to the brokenhearted and save the crushed in spirit. For Your glory and the advancement of Your kingdom we pray, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
