Pray with the global church

Holy One, we lift before You the people of Adamawa and Benue, where violence has torn apart lives and communities. Believers face grave dangers, yet You alone are their shield. Guard the hearts of those mourning their lost loved ones and sustain their faith in the midst of persecution. Let Your flame move even among the Jihadists, igniting a longing for truth that leads them to turn to the Lord. Reveal Jesus to captives, soldiers, and those filled with hate. Deliver them from darkness into the light of Christ's mercy. Embolden believers to proclaim peace in regions marked by war, and let Your Gospel shine amidst every shadow cast by terror. We trust in Your power and commit these lands to Your care, for the glory of Your name. Amen.
