Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift before You the believers in Madhya Pradesh, where Chhot Singh Dhurve and six others have been imprisoned under anti-conversion laws. You see the chains that bind them and the fear that tries to silence their witness. Let Your light shine in their hearts, that they may not be crushed by darkness. Strengthen these imprisoned believers with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let their faith be a beacon to those around them. Reveal Jesus to the officials, accusers, and communities involved, and turn many hearts toward the saving knowledge of Your Son. Let Your kingdom come in India, that all may see Your righteousness and truth. For the sake of Your name and glory, we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
