Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the house church in central China that has faced raids and restrictions. Strengthen their faith amidst this persecution, for Your eyes are on the righteous and Your ears are attentive to their prayers. Let no weapon formed against them prosper. Reveal Jesus to those who confiscate and intimidate, that they might encounter Your love and truth in unexpected ways. Protect the young believers, and let their hearts continue singing hymns to You, even when silence is enforced. Open the eyes of officials and the communities watching this unfold, that they might see the strength of Your Spirit at work within these believers. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, whose Kingdom knows no end. Amen.
