Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Defender of the Oppressed, we lift up the believers in Beijing and the legal advocates who stand with them in truth and courage. You see the threats against those who defend Your church, and You are the One who rescues the poor and the needy from those too strong for them. Establish Your justice in this land, and preserve those who seek to uphold righteousness. Strengthen the believers of Zion Church, and let their steadfast faith shine brightly amidst the pressure. Open the eyes of authorities to see the truth of Jesus, and dismantle the structures of intimidation that seek to silence Your people. May the Gospel continue to spread in China, revealing the light of Christ to all. In the name of our Advocate, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
