Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up the ancient Protestant church in Tehran and the families dwelling within its compound. As the threat of demolition looms, be their strong refuge and strength. Just as Jesus stood after His resurrection, let this church stand firm as a witness to Your enduring presence. Fill the hearts of the believers with peace that surpasses understanding, guarding them in Christ Jesus. Reveal Jesus to the officials and those who seek to dismantle what has been a sanctuary for many. May the story of this church proclaim the hope of resurrection and new life throughout Tehran and beyond. For the glory of Your name, we trust in Your power to sustain and uphold. Amen.
