Please pray for China - I received a letter that needs our attention in prayer, please pray with us. "We are in an unstable situation under our government. It seemed that we had more freedom to share the Gospel and plant churches from last year until March this year.
But there is a huge change from the end of March until this week. The attitude of our authority towards the Church is uncertain, they are very friendly to some, very harsh and strict to some others in some places. There are around 200 people were arrested. They have torn down many church buildings within few weeks. On 8th May, there were more than 10 church buildings torn down, and put a notice on the meeting places "Forbidden to have religious meetings." We felt that we went back to the 60s and 70s, which harshly suppressed religions. It seems telling us that there will be many people suffer and shedding blood for their faith.
Last week, we have had a 3 days meeting, all the leadership in our country attended this gathering. The believers from the government churches, house churches and city churches were willing to commit themselves to stand for their pure Faith, even if it means to die. They also committed t to live, to die and to stand for one another.

We urgently to ask you please pray for us in the followings: 1. Ask God, that our country will rise up, be a useful vessel in His hand, turn the heart of our king to obey God's will, not oppose Him.
2. Pray for the Churches, to shine the Light under the suppression, so that the world will recognize that we belong to Christ. Don't give up to disobey God's will because of hardships.
3. We have sent out message to all the churches in our country, ask all the leaders, not look at the present situation, but trust in God's power and His word. Fix our eyes on Him and ask Him to keep our faith in Him.
4. We will not look at the suppression, but continue to do what God has called us to do. Please pray for us to remain faithful to Him unto death.
5. Please also pray for the key church leaders, so that they may always make right decisions. Just like the Lord led His disciples in the early church, the church went forward instead of backward. Please let us stand with our brothers and sisters in China, knowing that they are also praying for us. Also, the China Government is undergoing lots of crucial reformation to remove bribery, corruption, idolatry and etc from the nation. At the same time, lots of political tension with e a lot of other nations, especially in the East Sea situation. It is always very strategic to pray for them too.
