Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we turn our gaze to Guangxi, where the lifting of bail restrictions for four Zion Church members brings a moment of relief amid ongoing trials. You hold their lives in Your hands, and we thank You for this breath of freedom. Let these believers stand firm, knowing that those who hope in You will not be put to shame. We ask You to sustain the eight still detained, give them peace in the midst of confinement, and break the chains that bind them. Cause Your truth to shine on those who seek to suppress it, and meet the persecutors with grace that transforms hearts like Saul on the road. Advance Your Gospel across China, even where it's forbidden to gather openly. Let hope rise where fear would rule. For Your name's sake and through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
