Pray with the global church

King of Heaven, we lift up Pastor Cui Xianfeng and the believers of Beijing Jiaquan Church as they face these accusations. Your Word is a lamp unto their feet; let it guide them through this trial with clarity and truth. Guard Pastor Cui’s heart against fear and doubt, and let his steadfast faith be a witness to all who watch. Reveal Jesus to the officials and persecutors involved, as You did with Saul, that they might come to know Him whom they persecute. Let Your light shine in Beijing's darkness and give courage to the church as they stand firm. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
