Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we thank You for the rescue of this precious woman from captivity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, after years of suffering at the hands of the ADF. Her endurance and faithfulness under pressure to abandon her belief testify to Your sustaining grace. Guard her heart and mind with Your peace as she begins a new chapter, restoring what was lost and healing every wound. Strengthen Your church across DR Congo and Uganda, and use this testimony to reveal Jesus to those who still walk in darkness. Let every person involved in her rescue see Your hand at work. Embolden those who have faced persecution to continue proclaiming the name above all names. May Your kingdom come in power here. We ask it all for the glory of Your name, Amen.
