Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we lift up Pastor Tang Bingyi and the church in Xi'an facing charges for simply receiving what was freely given by Your people. This prosecution attempts to silence those who live by faith, yet You are their refuge and strength. Uphold Pastor Tang and his congregation. Let their faith not falter but instead shine brightly in this trial. Confound the plans of those who seek to distort truth and reveal Jesus to officials, prosecutors, and even those who testify against Your people. Guard the church in China as it navigates these waters, and let love abound where accusation rises. We ask this, trusting in Your power to bring redemption out of every injustice, for Your name's sake and through Christ our Lord. Amen.
