Pray with the global church

God of Refuge and Deliverance, we thank You for providing a safe haven for Artemis Ghasemzadeh in Canada. You are the shelter for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble. May Your peace surround Artemis as she begins anew, and let her faith flourish in this new land. We ask that You continue to strengthen believers in Iran who face persecution, and reveal Jesus to those who oppose Your name. Guide the hearts of leaders in Canada and beyond to extend compassion and justice to those fleeing danger. Let the testimony of Artemis' journey shine Your light to many who have yet to believe. In all these things, may Your name be glorified and Your kingdom advance, through Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
