Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift up the church in Kaduna state, where believers have endured grave suffering at the hands of the Fulani Ethnic Militia. Though many have perished, You have preserved a remnant — eight souls returned home. We ask You to sustain those who remain in captivity, with strength that does not fail and hope that does not fade. Reveal Jesus to their captors and all who watch these events unfold. Show Your face among those who live in darkness, and let Your light break through. Raise up voices of comfort and courage within Nigeria, so that even this valley of death becomes a place where Your Gospel advances. In the name of Christ, whose life conquers death, we entrust our prayers to You. Amen.
