Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up the people of Mandera, grieving over the attack on Christian workers. You are our refuge and strength in times of trouble. Comfort those families who have lost loved ones, and guard the hearts of believers there from fear and despair. Expose the plans of those who seek to do harm, and show Your power by turning even their hearts toward grace. Let Jesus be revealed to these communities, softening the ground for the Good News to take root. Strengthen the church in Kenya to stand as a light, proclaiming peace and forgiveness boldly. To You belongs power, glory, and all dominion through Christ our Lord. Amen.
