Friday – The persecuted church & unreached people group
Persecuted church in Wuhan, China | Praise God for the testimony of Huang Lei, the pastor of a house church network in Wuhan, China reflecting on their members’ ministry to their city during the COVID-19 crisis. Lei said, “If Christians are more afraid of death than the world during a disaster, then the suffering they have endured would be in vain. God wants us to overcome difficulties through Him. This epidemic provides an opportunity for us to introspect our faith, reflect on ourselves, strengthen our spiritual life and to depend on God,” Pray for God to use this pandemic to bring many to faith in Him alone.
Unreached people group - Xibe in China | The Xibe in China have a population of 237,000 with only 0.5% Christian. Although overall they remain an unreached people group, in recent years a few Xibe churches have been established north of Shenyang. This is largely through the witness of neighboring Korean believers. Let’s pray for the Lord to grow His church in this unreached people group.
Saturday – Our local ministry partners Pray for West Charlotte Church, Charlotte, NC - Pastors Charles McKnight & Drew Martin, who are in our local presbytery.
