PRAYER FOR FIELD TEAM: God of all Comfort, we pray for "Ai," today, a house church leader imprisoned in Beijing for preaching the Gospel. Comfort his heart, strengthen his soul, and heal his body. As he unashamedly prays to You today, defend him and protect him from persecution.
We remember the story of Peter from Acts 12:5. Even though he was "kept in prison, constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church." We are Your church, and we pray today for "Ai's" protection and release. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
