Pray →God of Deliverance, we thank You for Pastor Nihad Hassan's release from detention in Syria. You are the One who sets prisoners free and breaks the chains that bind. Guard Pastor Nihad and his family as they rejoice in his return, and let their testimony of Your faithfulness shine brightly in Afrin. Sustain the believers in Syria who continue to face surveillance and intimidation, and let Your peace rule in their hearts amidst uncertainty. Reveal Jesus to those in authority who detained him, and let Your truth bring conviction and transformation. Strengthen Your Church in Syria to stand firm, that in all things Christ may be glorified. We trust in Your steadfast love and faithfulness. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Pray →God of All Comfort, we lift up Pastor John Cao in the midst of his cancer diagnosis. You have been his steadfast rock through years of imprisonment, and now in this new trial, sustain him with Your presence. Let him not be shaken, but strengthened by Your Spirit, even as his body battles illness. Reveal Jesus to those who have imprisoned him and to the medical teams caring for him. Let this be a moment where Your glory is made known, where many come to faith through the witness of his endurance and peace. Guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let the peace that surpasses all understanding uphold him. We commit Pastor Cao to Your merciful care, trusting in Your unfailing love. Amen.
