Pray with the global church

Lord God, whose promises are sure and steadfast, we bring before You the Beth-El Tabernacle Church of Christ Alpha Omega Congregation in Semarang Regency. For eight years, they have faced opposition in their quest to build a sanctuary for Your worship. You have promised to hear the cries of Your people and to establish them in the work of their hands. Strengthen this congregation to continue gathering faithfully, not neglecting to meet together as some do, and fill them with courage amidst discouragement. Make a way through the obstacles they face, and let their perseverance become a testimony to Your faithfulness. Reveal Jesus to those who resist this work, that they may see the light of the One who reconciles. We entrust this church to Your care, confident in Your will and purpose. Amen.
