Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we lift up Gulbahar Haitiwaji and those imprisoned with her in the camps of China. You see the unjust suffering and hear the cries of the oppressed, for no darkness is too deep for Your light to reach. Strengthen the Uyghur community as they bear witness to these brutal realities, giving voice to those without one. Pour out courage upon all who stand for justice in their land, and sustain them as they testify against oppression. Reveal Jesus to guards, officials, and all who execute this persecution — open eyes blinded by lies, that many would turn from darkness to light. May truth shine brightly in places of great shadow, for You are faithful and just. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.
