Pray with the global church

God of protection and faithfulness, we lift up the Iranian Christian convert who has found refuge in Canada after facing deportation from the United States. We thank You for Your provision, for You are a shelter for those in distress. Establish peace and security in his new home, and let him be rooted and built up in Christ, overflowing with thankfulness. Reveal Jesus to those in Iran who live under threat for their faith, and open the eyes of those who oppose the Gospel. May Your light shine in darkness, bringing salvation and hope to many. We trust in Your steadfast love, which endures forever, and ask that You continue to guide and protect Your people. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
