Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up Kyrgyz believers enduring persecution and discrimination in their villages. Though bodies are exhumed and traditions opposed, let their hope not be shaken. You are the refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble — stand firm beside them. Establish Your Kingdom amid every hostility and reveal Jesus to those filled with anger and fear. Bring the peace that surpasses understanding into these communities, transforming enmity into love. Guard those who suffer for Christ's name from discouragement, and let their testimony shine like a city on a hill. Pour out Your Spirit on this land, that many may come to know the One who was buried yet rose again in victory. For Your glory and through the power of Jesus, Amen.
