Pray with the global church

Living God, we lift up Chen Yunfei and the Early Rain Covenant Church amidst this fresh wave of opposition in Chengdu. You see every injustice, and You are close to those who suffer for Your name. Open the eyes of authorities just as Gamaliel once discerned a movement that could not be stopped by men. Deliver Chen from wrongful accusations, and let his witness be one that draws others to Your truth. Sustain the church under pressure, and let their faith shine brighter in trial. Move across China with power that cannot be silenced, revealing Jesus even to those who resist Him. We trust You, Lord of all justice, and place this land into Your hands. Amen.
