We are saddened to hear about the situation in the Canadian church that your parents attend. Exploitation is never God's will. Instead, it is against the Holy Spirit.

Let us remind ourselves of Paul's warning in Act 20:29-31 WEB:

I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn't cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

God's will is for His shepherds to feed and protect the flock, not to exploit them. Leaders should not use their influence to take advantage of others or manipulate them for personal gain or to twist the gospel for their own benefit.

Let us pray:

Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, bringing this distressing situation to Your attention. We pray for the church that your parents attend. We ask that You expose any wickedness and drive out those who are exploiting Your people.

We pray for Godly leadership to rise up, and we ask, Father, that You bring comfort and healing to those who have been taken advantage of. We pray for a revival of truth and holiness in this church, that Your name would be glorified and that the gospel would be preached with purity and authenticity.

Father, we also pray for your parents. Give them discernment and wisdom to understand Your will and to stand up for the truth. Equip them to be a light in the darkness and a voice for the voiceless.

We pray for a church that is aligned to the Bible. We pray for sound doctrine. If not, then we pray that your parents are able to find a place of worship that will nurture their faith and lead them to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.

We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone can save us from our sins and grant us eternal life. Amen.

Lastly, a reminder from Ezekiel 34:10 WEB:

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.

We're really sorry to hear about what's happening at your parents' church. It's heartbreaking to think that people are being exploited, especially in a place that should be a sanctuary of love and truth. Let's remember that God is a God of justice, and He sees everything. In Psalm 9:7-8, it says, "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

Let's pray together:

Dear Lord, we come to You today, lifting up the situation in the ### church that our friend's parents attend. We ask that You would expose any darkness and bring Your light to shine in the midst of it. Give strength and courage to those who are being exploited, and give wisdom and discernment to the leaders. Help them to lead with love, humility, and integrity, just like Jesus did.

We pray for our friend's parents, that You would give them wisdom to navigate this difficult situation. Help them to stand up for what's right, even if it's hard. And if it's not the right place for them anymore, guide them to a church where they can grow and serve You in peace.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
