Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we give thanks for Lian Xuliang's release and reunion with his family. You have heard the cries of Your people and shown mercy. Establish peace in their home as they rebuild from this time apart, and strengthen the church in China where fear often mingles with faith. Reveal Jesus to those who imprisoned Pastor Lian, that their hearts may turn toward grace. Let believers across China be steadfast, knowing that their labor in the Lord is not in vain. Draw the curious and skeptical towards Your truth, that they might see Your goodness and mercy. For Yours is the power and authority forever through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
