Pray with the global church

Holy God, we lift up the Diocese of Fada N'Gourma and remember Fr. Joël Yougbare who has been missing for seven years. Bring light into the darkness that shrouds his fate, and strengthen the hearts of believers in Burkina Faso who labor under constant threat. Your Word is a lamp to our feet — guide those searching for truth, those working for justice, and those longing for reconciliation. Reveal Jesus to captors and leaders alike as the only true source of peace. Protect missionaries in this land from every snare, and uphold them with Your steadfast love. We ask You to establish Your kingdom here, where evil has sought to prevail. For the glory of Your name and through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
