Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Defender of the Oppressed, we bring before You the Christian community in Pakistan as they face deadly violence, abductions, and claims of forced conversions. You see the suffering and hear the cries of those who are wronged. Establish Your peace in this land and protect Your people from fear and intimidation. Let the truth of the Gospel shine brightly, even in the midst of darkness, and reveal Jesus to those who persecute and oppress. Raise up leaders who will stand for justice and righteousness, and sustain the faith of believers who hold fast to Your promises. We ask for Your mighty hand to intervene, for the sake of Your name and glory. Amen.
