Faithful Shepherd, we bring before You the Uyghur and Tibetan people under increasing pressure to conform. You know every heart in Xinjiang and Tibet, and You have promised to be near to the brokenhearted. Strengthen the believers among these ethnic groups, granting them courage and peace in the face of intimidation. Reveal Jesus to government officials and those enforcing this new law, that they might encounter the One who sets captives free and brings true unity through grace. Let the light of the Gospel shine brightly across China, drawing all men to the truth that transcends national identity. May Your justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream in these regions. For the glory of Your name and the advancement of Your kingdom, we pray. Amen.
