Today’s prayer

“I pray for Christians in the Middle East who face distractions and challenges that keep them from fully living in obedience to Christ. May their hearts be strengthened, and may they find the courage to stand firm in their faith and share it with others,” writes mission partner H. As H encourages, trains and supports Muslim-background believers, pray for God to give her the wisdom she needs to nurture and walk alongside each one.
