Sovereign Lord, we praise You for the small but vibrant church in Turkmenistan. Continue to awaken, strengthen and enlarge it, amid various challenges. We particularly remember converts: empower them by Your Holy Spirit to withstand pressure and shine as beacons of light in their families and communities. And for the leaders who feel so burdened today, lighten their loads and bring them timely encouragement. Soften the hearts of the regime, we pray. Amen.
