Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift the Christian communities in Central Asia into Your hands as they face arrest and isolation for sharing their faith. You see every heart that courageously shares the Gospel despite the risks, and You know those who are imprisoned for Your name. Protect them, Lord. Deliver them from fear and despair. Reveal Jesus to their captors and those in authority, opening their eyes to the grace and truth found in Him. Let Your light shine in every dark place where believers are held, dispelling the shadows that seek to silence their witness. Stand with them as a strong tower when they feel alone. We trust You to sustain Your people there; may Your strength be made perfect in their weakness. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
