Father we thank You for all those who give their lives to speak bravely for religious freedom and human rights at risk to themselves. Bless them for all that they sacrifice to be voices for freedom.

This week, please:

• Pray for healing for Cecil Chaudhry and Godfrey Yogarajah, who are both suffering ill-health at this time.
• Ask God to bless and protect all of CSW’s partners around the world.
• Give thanks for training CSW has been able to deliver to local partners, equipping them with the skills to document and report human rights abuses.
• Pray for CSW’s work with local partner organisations.
• Pray for protection for human rights lawyers, who put themselves at risk by representing sensitive cases, particularly in China.
• Ask God to grant wisdom to CSW’s leadership as they develop advocacy partnerships.
