The Unity of Suffering Christians
(Part of the Introduction for the Coming Unity series of prayers for regions and nations around the world.)

"As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth. "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me." (Joh 17:18-21 NRSV)



Father we come before your Throne by the Blood of Christ. Lead and guide us
through the Holy Spirit in praying prayers of unity, praying prayers for the
Body of Christ, and praying for unity of the suffering Christians in 50
nations. We pray let a revival of unity come to our hearts as we pray for
unity for our beloved brothers and sisters who are suffering for their faith
in Christ.

Father we pray for the Persecuted Church in these 50 nations: North Korea,
Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Laos, Iran, Maldives, Somalia, Bhutan, China,
Afghanistan, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Comoros, Uzbekistan, Eritrea,
Myanmar (Burma), Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Morocco, Brunei,
Nigeria (North), Cuba, Russian Federation (Muslim), Tajikistan, Sri Lanka,
Djibouti, Mexico (South), Tunisia, Qatar, India, Nepal, Colombia (Conflict
Areas), Indonesia, Algeria, Turkey, Mauritania, Kuwait, Belarus, United Arab
Emirates, Oman, Syria, Bangladesh, Jordan, Kenya (North East), Ethiopia, and
Bahrain.

Father we pray for unity to arise in the hearts of believers in these
nations. We pray that you will raise up the church in these nations and
the city church in every city in these nations. Raise them up in unity, in
blessing, in healing, in grace, in mercy, in restoration, in revival, and in
glory.

Father we pray unite all believers in Christ in these nations. We pray for a
revival of unity to come among all believers in these nations, we pray for a
revival of healing to come among all believers in these nations, and we pray
for a revival of increase of harvest of souls in these nations.

Father we pray for newfound freedoms to come to believers in these nations.
We pray that they have freedom to worship, to gather together, and freedom
to witness, freedom to follow their Lord. We pray for better human rights
for all believers in Christ in these nations.

Father we pray; bring a holy connection between the freedom church, which
is free to worship in Jesus' name, and the Persecuted Church in these
nations. Bring unity, vision, love, compassion and healing between the
freedom church and the Persecuted Church, and let two become one in Christ.

Father we pray for these nations; we pray for revivals to come to all these
nations, and revivals to come to all the cities in these nations and all
people groups in these nations. We pray for social transformation to come to
all these nations, and we pray for social transformation to come to every
city in these nations.

Father we pray heal their nations, bring restoration to their nations, bring
blessings to their nations and reach out to the children and women in these
nations with your healing love and blessings.

Father we call forth unity in the hearts of Christians in these nations, and
we call forth unity and the coming unity, and we pray for a healing unity to
come to the church in these nations for the glory of Christ.

Father we pray for unity to come to the church in all nations, in all cities
and in all places. We pray for revival to come to the church in every
nation, every city, and in every place. We pray for social transformation to
come to every nation, every city and to every place for the glory of Christ.

We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
