We pray for a decrease in persecution and for hearts to be opened to the Gospel.

We ask for sound biblical teaching in churches and protection from falling away. May your truth be proclaimed boldly and may your Church be a light in the darkness.
Scripture Reference: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
7. Protection, Salvation, Deliverance, and Healing: Father, we pray for your protection, salvation, deliverance, and healing for all people.
