Pour out courage upon pastors and leaders standing firm for Your name, and let the testimony of Jesus move in power among communities trapped in fear. Break open hard hearts that they might see salvation in Jesus Christ. For Yours is the kingdom, and we trust You to establish peace that cannot be shaken. Amen.

Sustain the hearts of these leaders with courage and hope that does not disappoint. As Your word takes root and grows in this region, let Your light pierce the darkness for the glory of Your name.
