Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Comfort, we lift up the Early Rain Covenant Church and all unregistered congregations in Chengdu facing renewed raids and surveillance. You know the plans You have for Your people, plans to give them hope and a future, even in the face of oppression. Grant courage and steadfastness to these believers, that they may not be shaken by intimidation but stand firm in Your truth. Reveal Jesus to the officials carrying out these orders, and turn their hearts toward mercy and understanding. Let the light of the Gospel shine brighter in the darkness, spreading hope and truth across Sichuan Province. Establish Your Church in China for the glory of Your name, that many may come to know the One who is the way, the truth, and the life. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
