Pray with the global church

Holy One, we lift up the pastors and leaders across restricted and hostile nations who are being strengthened and equipped through Global Action. You who call and commission, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus as they shepherd Your flock under pressure and threat. Establish them in Your truth, let wisdom guide their steps, and keep them as lights in dark places. Reveal Jesus to the communities watching their faith, and draw those who oppose them into the light of Your love. May Your Spirit empower these leaders to serve with courage and compassion, that Your Kingdom might be made known in every land. For Your glory and in Your name, we pray. Amen.
