“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:13-14)

Father, we thank You for regional church leaders in “Zephyr” who travel to shepherd congregations. Many of them face severe persecution along the way, including physical attacks, insults, and hostility from those who oppose their mission. Pray that these hardships will not discourage them but instead strengthen their faith and resolve. Father, we ask You to use their perseverance as a powerful testimony, shining Jesus’s light in these communities and drawing others to You.
