Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up the Zion Church in China, where Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri and others remain in custody following a government crackdown. In this time of trial, sustain those unjustly detained and their families, and let Your Spirit bring freedom where there is oppression. Where Your Spirit is, there is freedom—manifest this truth in mighty ways among Your people. Reveal Jesus to the authorities and officials who resist Your name, turning their hearts toward the light of Your truth. Strengthen the believers of Zion Church to stand firm in love and truth, and let their testimony shine brightly in a land of many challenges. For Your name's sake, let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. In the name of Jesus, our hope and deliverer, Amen.
