Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up the believers in China who face imprisonment and harassment for their faith. As Pastor Ezra Jin walks free, eight more remain behind bars; grant them endurance. May Your presence fill the cells they occupy with light and hope, and sustain them in this trial. Reveal Jesus to those who hold the keys, to the officials deliberating at tables, and to families waiting in uncertainty. Let truth break through every hardened heart in Beijing. Surround the attorney seeking asylum with Your peace and safety. May this summit bring an unexpected turning of hearts toward justice and mercy in China. Establish Your reign in that land for the honor of Your name. Amen.
