Pray with the global church

Father, we stand with the children in China, who face interrogation for their faith, and we trust that You will guard their hearts and minds. As You promised to be a refuge for the oppressed, shelter these young believers from fear. Deliver them from harm and use their testimony to shine light in dark places. We ask that those questioning them might encounter Jesus as Saul did on the road to Damascus, turning enemies into brothers. Let Your truth prevail over accusations of "brainwashing," and strengthen the church in China to continue speaking boldly of Christ. For the glory of Your name and the advance of Your kingdom, Amen.
