Church faces crackdown in Kyrgyzstan after pastor's deportation
After deporting a pastor earlier this year, authorities in Kyrgyzstan launched a heavy crackdown against his church, holding five members in pre-trial detention for months before convicting them of “extremism,” according to rights group Forum 18.
Pray →Lord of Hosts, we lift up Kyrgyzstan where Your church faces heavy persecution after the deportation of their pastor. Authorities have detained and convicted believers under false charges of extremism, aiming to silence their witness. Guard these faithful ones as they face trials, and strengthen them with Your Spirit that no prison wall can contain. Reveal Jesus to officials overseeing these unjust measures, and let Your light break into hearts hardened against the Gospel. Open doors for the Good News to spread even under pressure, and make truth prevail over accusation. Keep the church in Kyrgyzstan steadfast, that they may endure in hope and show forth Your glory amid adversity. We ask this in the name of our victorious Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pray →Shepherd, You see the millions of Christians forced from their homes by violence and extremism. In lands where fear tries to rule, be the refuge and fortress for those who have lost their dwelling. Open the eyes of those who sow discord and let the light of Jesus penetrate even their hearts. Guard Your scattered flock as they journey into uncertainty, and grant them wisdom as they navigate foreign lands. Let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path. Bring beauty out of ashes, rebuilding what has been destroyed with Your unfailing love. Bring comfort to these sojourners and reveal Jesus through them to every land where they find rest. For You are our Shepherd and our Savior. Amen.

Pray →God of All Comfort, we bring before You the tense land of the West Bank, where another young life has been taken and sorrow deepens. In Burqa and across the region, let Your comfort settle upon grieving families who now walk the valley of shadows, and uphold those wounded in both body and spirit. Turn hearts that harbor bitterness toward peace, restrain the cycle of violence that claims the innocent, and plant seeds of reconciliation in places long torn by strife. Reveal Jesus as the Light shining in the darkness to soldiers, settlers, and all communities watching. Establish Your kingdom of peace in this land that knows such unrest. We ask this in the hope given through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
