Holy One, we lift up the church in China, standing firm under pressure, and we thank You for the Spirit of adoption by which they cry out to You as Father. Strengthen the imprisoned leaders of Zion Church, and let endurance have its work so that they do not grow weary in doing good. Reveal Jesus to authorities and persecutors who search for hope in policies and power, and meet them with grace as You met Saul on the road. Let the seeds sown in suffering spring forth into a great spiritual harvest across China. Pour out Your Spirit upon this land, that many would come to know Jesus Christ as Lord. We trust You to lead them home for Your name’s sake. Amen.
