Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we lift up the Christian students and educators in Hunan Province, who face questioning and discipline under an expanding crackdown. In these days of trial, let their love abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight. Grant them discernment to remain blameless and pure in the face of pressure, so their lives may bear witness to Your truth. Reveal Jesus to the authorities and those who interrogate Your children, that they may see the light and glory of the Gospel. Guard the hearts and minds of believers who hold fast amidst intimidation, and establish Your Church in China as a beacon of hope. For You are faithful to complete what You have begun. Amen.
