Pray with the global church

Almighty God, we give thanks for the release of the seven pastors in Madhya Pradesh, who have been set free from imprisonment under anti-conversion laws. You are a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Establish Your justice in India, and let the light of Your truth shine brightly in places of darkness and false accusation. Strengthen these pastors and their congregations, that they may continue to proclaim Your gospel with boldness and grace. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute them, and soften the hearts of officials to see the truth of Your love. Let Your mercy flow over this land and transform it for Your glory. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
