Pray →Savior, we lift up Borno where families live in fear and anguish over loved ones taken from them. In the darkness of their distress, be their stronghold and ever-present help. Guard those who have been kidnapped, and deliver them from the hands of their captors. Reveal Jesus to the kidnappers, that they might see Your light even as Saul did on the road to Damascus. Bring peace to homes disrupted, restore broken education paths, and refill depleted resources with Your abundance. For You bring good news to the poor and bind up the brokenhearted. We ask that the name of Jesus would be known and His reign established even in these troubled times. Amen.

Pray →God of Truth, we lift up Gulbahar Haitiwaji and those imprisoned with her in the camps of China. You see the unjust suffering and hear the cries of the oppressed, for no darkness is too deep for Your light to reach. Strengthen the Uyghur community as they bear witness to these brutal realities, giving voice to those without one. Pour out courage upon all who stand for justice in their land, and sustain them as they testify against oppression. Reveal Jesus to guards, officials, and all who execute this persecution — open eyes blinded by lies, that many would turn from darkness to light. May truth shine brightly in places of great shadow, for You are faithful and just. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.

Pray →God of Mercy, we lift up Mahmood Shah Habibi as he remains in custody under Taliban control. May Your light pierce through the darkness surrounding him, and may Your peace guard his heart in this trying time. God, deliver him from captivity as You delivered Peter from prison by the power of prayer and angelic intervention. We ask You to reveal Jesus to those holding him, that they might see truth and mercy in His name. Strengthen his family as they await his return, keeping their hope anchored in Your promise that nothing is too difficult for You. Establish the Gospel throughout Afghanistan so that even amidst opposition, Christ's love would shine brightly. For Your glory and in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Pray →Redeemer, we lift before You the pastor and church staff in northern China who have been arrested for their faith. You are their shelter and refuge in times of trouble, even as they face imprisonment. Redeem their suffering for Your purpose and glory. Bring them freedom of spirit even behind bars. Reveal Your light to officials and guards who encounter these believers, and meet them with the same transforming love that met Saul on the road to Damascus. Let the Good News take root in every heart drawn by Your Spirit in that place. To You alone belong deliverance and redemption, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
