Pray →God of All Comfort, we lift up the believers in Korea who face the challenge of religious liberty, and we remember especially those in the Seoul Detention Center. You see the fragile dignity of a ninety-five-year-old man, and Your heart is with those who suffer for Your name. Break the fallow ground in Korea, making way for seeds to be planted and a harvest prepared. Strengthen those who labor for freedom, and let their testimony shine like a beacon in dark places. Reveal Jesus to those in positions of power and to the hearts of those who persecute. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in Korea, as it is in heaven. In the name of Jesus, who sets captives free. Amen.

Pray →God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up Pakistan on this National Minorities Day, remembering Shahbaz Bhatti, whose courageous sacrifice continues to shape the nation’s landscape for religious minorities. As we recall his legacy, we see a reflection of Your Kingdom, which belongs to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Multiply his story, inspiring leaders and communities to pursue truth and courage across Pakistan. Establish Your peace among all peoples, revealing Jesus to those who oppose these reforms and to those who live under threat. Strengthen the believers of Pakistan to remain steadfast, and let their light shine brightly in a land where darkness seeks to prevail. For the glory of Your name, we ask these things, trusting in Your enduring promise of justice and mercy. Amen.
