Pray with the global church

Lord God, we lift up Zion Church in Beijing and thank You for the release of Pastor Jin Mingri. Eight of his co-workers remain detained in Guangxi, caught between hope and endurance. Strengthen them, and let Your peace, which surpasses understanding, guard their hearts and minds. Open prison doors as You have done before and deliver them from bondage. Let Your Word shine through this darkness, that the officials holding them might see the light of Christ. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose Him now, and turn hearts from stone to flesh. Embolden the believers of China to stand firm in their faith. In the name of Jesus our Lord we pray. Amen.
