Pray with the global church

Strong Tower and Shield, we lift up the coastal churches of Tanzania as they worship under the shadow of fear. Though doors have been broken and Bibles scattered, Your promise stands that You will be their refuge and fortress. Let them not be afraid, for You are their light and salvation. Guard these congregations as they gather, and let the peace of Christ rule in their hearts. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose them, that even they might see Your glory and turn to You. Establish a testimony of courage and love that draws others to Your name. For the sake of Your steadfast love and faithfulness, may these churches shine as beacons of hope and forgiveness. Amen.
