Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we lift up Kogi and Ekiti where more than 10 kidnapped Christians have found rescue. Thank You for bringing them back from captivity, for you truly are with them in every dark valley. Restore their strength and pour peace into their shaken hearts, turning fear into hope. Let Your presence be known in the forests where kidnappers hide; may Your light shine into their darkness and bring repentance. Confront those who steal and harm, changing even the hardest heart. We ask You to protect believers across Nigeria, sustaining them with courage and boldness to proclaim Your Word without fear. We entrust these regions to Your unfailing love, for You are the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. Amen.
