Pray with the global church

God of Hope, we lift up the believers in Yunnan, where Sun Chao faces charges for his faithfulness to Your Word. You see the trials faced by those who gather in Your name, and You are their refuge and strength. Establish Your Church in Yunnan, that no campaign against unregistered congregations might prevail against Your purposes. Strengthen Sun Chao and his congregation, fortify their courage, and let their faith shine as a witness to those who oppose them. Reveal Jesus to the officials and communities watching this situation, that they may see the light of the world in whom there is no shadow. For the sake of Your glorious name and through the power of Christ our Lord, Amen.
