Pray with the global church

Holy One, we lift up the pastors and believers of Beijing's Zion Church facing mounting pressures from authorities. You are the God who sees and knows; nothing is hidden from Your sight. Sustain their courage as they walk in Your light, even when darkness presses close. Reveal Jesus to the officials who apply pressure, and dismantle fear that seeks to silence Your truth. Guard Ruth Wang and her family in Taiwan, providing refuge as You have promised to be a stronghold for the oppressed. Let Your peace reign over those who feel they have no safe place, and let Your Word continue to spread across China, even when men try to contain it. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
