40 Days of Prayer: Day 31

EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 31: For China

We are in our last ten days of kicking of 2019 with special united prayer for our congregation. We are hoping God gives us unity of vision, purpose, and spirit, that we can move as one body to give God glory through our lives and our corporate life together.

And our hearts turn to those suffering for this Gospel that God has given to us. We prayed for the Early Rain Covenant Church in China. There is still much pressure from authorities calling for them to suspend their corporate activities and to disband. Some are still in prison, including the pastor and his wife (update here). We know that their future is secure in God's hands, but let us pray for freedom, safety, and health, and for the transformation of their oppressors by God's grace.

Pray for those suffering all around the world for their faith in Jesus Christ, but let us today especially pray for the Gospel to go forth with power in the largest country in Asia.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." - John 14:27 ESV

"In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." - 1 Peter 1:6–7 ESV
