Pray →Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the plight of the Ukrainian priest, taken from his pastoral duties and sent to military training. You know each step and path he takes. Guard him under Your wings, and let not his feet stumble as he walks this unexpected road. Confound those who deny his service and wisdom in Your name. Shine light on officials and soldiers around him that they might see Jesus revealed through this priest's life, even in uniform. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, keep his heart steady amidst confusion and fear. We ask for strength for all believers in Ukraine holding fast to their faith under pressure. May Your kingdom break into these hard places, transforming hearts that once resisted into hearts of flesh that welcome Your presence. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen.

Pray →Lord of Hosts, we lift up the independent churches in China facing restrictions under this latest crackdown. We ask You to build up these communities like a city on a hill, shining despite the efforts to dim their light. Strengthen the believers there, that they would know though they are troubled on every side, they are not crushed. Reveal Jesus to those who stand against these gatherings, and let Your Spirit move among officials and watchers alike. May Your truth break through every barrier as You establish Your kingdom in China. We commit the church into Your faithful hands for the sake of Your name. Amen.

Pray →Most High God, we lift up Vietnam where activists have been abducted, silenced for seeking truth and justice. You see their suffering and the darkness that tries to hide them from view. Bring them into light and set them free. We ask You to dismantle the chains of oppression and open doors of release. Reveal Jesus to those who orchestrate these abductions, turning hearts of stone into hearts of flesh that seek righteousness. Protect and sustain believers working quietly in Vietnam, that their lives might shine as a beacon of hope in this challenging time. Establish Your kingdom here, for Your power is made perfect in weakness. We trust You to act for Your name's sake, through Jesus our Redeemer. Amen.

Pray →Father of Life, we turn to You as the church in Kenya mourns deep and unthinkable loss. You see every child with compassion and know each tear shed by their families. Comfort those who grieve these innocent lives and bind up the brokenhearted. Restrain any who distort the name of Jesus for harm, and let truth shine clearly amid confusion. Raise up voices in Kenya who speak Your Word with grace and integrity, that many might hear and see clearly the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Reveal Your love to those ensnared by false teachings, bringing freedom where there has been bondage. We trust You to bring beauty from ashes in this land, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
