Pray →God of All Comfort, we lift up the believers in China who face imprisonment and harassment for their faith. As Pastor Ezra Jin walks free, eight more remain behind bars; grant them endurance. May Your presence fill the cells they occupy with light and hope, and sustain them in this trial. Reveal Jesus to those who hold the keys, to the officials deliberating at tables, and to families waiting in uncertainty. Let truth break through every hardened heart in Beijing. Surround the attorney seeking asylum with Your peace and safety. May this summit bring an unexpected turning of hearts toward justice and mercy in China. Establish Your reign in that land for the honor of Your name. Amen.

Pray →Most High God, we bring before You John Sanqiang Cao in Changsha, China, as he battles late-stage cancer far from his family. You are the One who upholds all creation; uphold him now in this valley of the shadow. Give strength to his body and peace to his spirit, guarding him with Your presence. Reveal Jesus to the medical staff and surrounding community through his witness, even in illness. Open a path for John to be reunited with his loved ones if it be Your will, and comfort Jamie and their family as they bear this distance. Establish Your truth and hope in the hearts of those who persecute or oppose him, that they might see Christ in their midst. In the name of Jesus, our Shepherd and Savior. Amen.

Pray →Shepherd, we bring the believers of China before You as they face relentless opposition and suppression. Strengthen their hearts to stand firm amid this oppression, for You uphold those who suffer for Your name's sake. Let their faith endure every trial. Reveal Jesus to the officials and leaders in China, that they might see Him as the true light that cannot be overcome by darkness. Guard those whose voices have been silenced, and let truth rise in places of control and censorship. Establish Your peace over tensions and wars waged against faith, making room for justice and mercy to flourish. In the unfolding of these days, guide world leaders towards wisdom and understanding. We trust You with all this, believing You are at work even when eyes do not see. Amen.

Pray →Lord of Hosts, we lift up the community of Ungwan Mato in Kebbi State, Nigeria, where Your children face threats and ultimatum because of their faith. In their trials, let them know that the One who called them is faithful, and He will protect and sustain them through every threat. Strengthen these believers to stand firm in the truth and reveal Jesus to those who oppose Your name. Bind up the wounds of the injured and be a shelter for those living in fear. Let their love and courage testify of Christ's power to save. Break the plans of those who seek violence, and let Your light shine in Kebbi to open eyes blinded by hatred. May Your Kingdom come here as it is in heaven. We entrust this prayer into Your sovereign hands through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
