Pray with the global church

Faithful Shepherd, we give thanks for the release of the American missionary pilot in Niger, whose safe return testifies to Your unfailing love and protection. You have led him through the valley of captivity and answered the prayers of many. May Your peace fill his heart and the hearts of his family, turning their relief into a testimony of Your faithfulness. Reveal Jesus to those who held him, transforming their hearts with the light of the Gospel. Strengthen the church in Niger with courage and hope, and let Your presence be evident to all who seek truth. May Your name be glorified in the unfolding of Your kingdom. Amen.
