Pray →God of the Fatherless, we lift up the children and staff of the Christian school near Kenya’s largest dumpsite, who have been forced from their place of learning and safety. You are the refuge of the oppressed and the stronghold in times of trouble. Establish a new shelter for these young ones, that they might be taught in peace and find hope in Your promises. Scatter the darkness that drives them back to the dumpsite, and reveal Jesus to the local authorities and community, that their hearts may turn towards justice and mercy. Sustain the teachers and caregivers who labor in Your name, and let their faith shine brightly amidst hardship. We ask this trusting in Your goodness and faithfulness, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Pray →God of All Comfort, we lift up the grieving hearts among the believers of Myanmar, mourning the loss of their beloved pastor and his associate. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Hold these grieving families and communities in Your tender embrace, and let their faith be a testimony amid affliction. Establish Your peace that transcends understanding in their hearts, and let Your presence be their refuge and strength. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose Your church, turning hearts from violence to mercy. Sustain the believers with hope that does not fade, and let the legacy of the fallen pastor inspire others to stand firm in faith. We rest in Your unfailing love and ask this in the name of Jesus, our Redeemer. Amen.

Pray →God of Refuge, we bring before You the churches and priests of occupied Eastern Ukraine, where faith faces trial and choice under pressure. You are our stronghold in times of trouble; protect and sustain these leaders who must decide between cooperation, imprisonment, or flight. Let truth and courage uphold their hearts as they navigate treacherous paths. Reveal Jesus to those who enforce these trials, that they may turn from oppression to the light of Your mercy. Strengthen the believers in Ukraine, that they may bear witness to Your kingdom even in adversity. May the stolen sanctuaries become places of testimony and transformation, drawing many to Your peace. For Your name's sake, guard them under the shadow of Your wings. Amen.
