Prayer Request 5/27-- 6/2

Tuesday
There has been a national outpouring of compassion, generosity, and unity in rescue efforts following the recent earthquake in China. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise for the future of the country. Many will agree that the greatest need of churches in China today is unity, fewer divisions, less criticism, and a lot more mutual encouragement and appreciation. Let us beseech the Lord for this kind of a spirit of humility and for people to have a vision of others as better than themselves.

Wednesday
It is not uncommon to find fancy county government facilities right in the poorest areas of China. Many reports tell how funds meant for improving the condition of poor people have been misused or embezzled, and thankfully, the Central Government has now determined to crack down on such graft. Let us pray for integrity and a fear of God in each leader whether in the local government or local churches. May the believers have the power to overcome greed.

Thursday
Sichuan has over 250,000 baptized Protestant Christians, 150 churches, one seminary, and 700 meeting points besides 100,000 Catholic believers and in this area, many churches have been destroyed or badly damaged in the region affected by the earthquake. As the entire region rebuilds, let us pray for the reconstruction of these meeting places, not merely the physical buildings but the Body of Christ within them that will minister to and give hope to their communities.

Friday
There are Chinese restaurants all over the world but many times we are surprised by the number of them one finds in one city. In Hamburg, Germany where there are thousands of Chinese students, there are five hundred Chinese restaurants. Many Bible study groups meet in Chinese restaurants after working hours and many of the workers have come to know Christ but they are in great need of long-term follow up. Let us pray for this new ministry of outreach and the restaurant-based churches.

Saturday
In order to get into the top high schools, not only must the students have performed well in the examinations, but their parents must also be willing to pay for the "School Assistance Fees" to gain entrance. These extra fees can amount to a whole year's salary. Getting into a good high school is both extremely competitive and expensive. Let us pray for Christian parents as they seek wisdom in how to give their children the best education with what they can afford.

Sunday
China has been steadily upgrading its militarily capabilities. It is said that they have a total of 100 plus nuclear warheads, which is the least among the five nuclear nations. In term of military exports, China has about 2% of the international market shares. Material prosperity has in some way weakened China's churches in her resolve to evangelize. As China builds its military might, we pray earnestly that Chinese believers will steadily grow to be strong Christian soldiers, too.

Monday
Many foreigners ask, "Are the Olympics being politicized?" Chinese see the Beijing Olympics as more than a sporting event; it is more a defining moment in its national destiny. It is the realization of the "dream of the century" and is equated as "the greatest event." Chinese believers are praying for the Beijing Olympics, to win as many medals and to project the image of "great China" to the world. Let us pray that this would be the time China's churches will see the vision God has given her and find her role in world missions.

星期二
在四川嚴重的地震救援過程中，全國上下湧現著無限的愛心，慷慨和團結，實在令人鼓舞。長遠來說，這可能是對中國未來的一種祝福。 許多人會有同感，當今中國教會非常需要合一，少些分裂和批評，多些鼓勵和欣賞。讓我們常常為眾教會代禱，彼此存謙卑的心志，看別人比自己強，共同扶持努力。

星期三
在中國即使是最貧窮的地區，豪華虛榮的縣政府辦公大樓和設施一點也不罕見。報導也經常揭露各項用以扶貧的資金或專款，遭濫用及挪用。此次抗震救災，中央政府已決心要打擊這些貪污。讓我們特別為各級領導，包括地方政府和教會的領導者祈求，願他們能表現出對上帝應有的敬畏和對民眾的忠信，竭誠服務；信徒們亦能勝過貪婪，以持守聖潔為樂。

星期四
四川有超過25萬名受洗的基督徒， 150座教堂，一間神學院和700個聚會點。天主教徒也將近有10萬。在地震受災地區，許多教堂被摧毀或嚴重破壞。在整個災區重建的過程中，讓我們為聚會點的重建禱告。求神幫助信徒的聚焦重點不單是建築物而已，更要緊的是復興基督的身體，使教會能作鹽、發光，充份服事他們的社群，為當地居民帶來希望。

星期五
中國餐廳遍佈世界各地，中餐舘數目之多，仍不免叫人驚訝。在德國漢堡市，中國學生有數千人，中餐舘就多達500家。許多查經聚會在下班時間假中餐廳進行，讓許多餐飲服務工人有機會認識基督而接受救恩。然而他們都需要更多長時間的跟進栽培。讓我們為餐福事工以及以餐廳為聚會基地的教會來禱告。

星期六
在中國，學生爲了進入頂尖的學校，不單要考取好成績，家長也必須願意支付各種名目的「贊助費」才可以順利入學，這些額外的費用可高達一整年的薪金。要上一流的「高貴」中學，即意味著競爭性高又昂貴。讓我們為基督徒父母向神尋求智慧來禱告，求神帶領他們能按能力為孩子安排最佳的教育。

星期日
中國近年來正持續不斷加強軍力。據估計，中國的核武庫僅有一百多枚核彈頭，是世界五大核國家當中數量最少的。中國軍品出口只占全球軍品市2％的份額。生活上物質的豐裕也往往削弱了中國教會傳福音的心志。正當中國加強軍事力量之時，讓我們懇切求神也建立中國信徒，使他們能穩健成長，成爲基督的精兵。

星期一
許多國際人士質疑：「奧運是否政治化了？」中國人把北京奧運視爲國家民族前景的決定性時刻，而不僅只是體壇盛事而已。這"百年盛事"等同"百年夢想"，被寄予民族醒覺和振興的厚望。中國信徒為奧運禱告時，常祈求能贏得更多面金牌，向全世界展示「大中國」的形象。讓我們禱告，求主幫助中國教會能更看重神所賦予的歷史使命，找到自己對當代世界所當扮演的角色。

Prayer Request 5/20 -- 5/26

Tuesday
Top Chinese leaders were highly visible in the Sichuan earthquake rescue effort. They were prominently portrayed as genuinely compassion and served as a powerful rallying force for the victims and the whole nation. As Christians, we are called to pray for those who rule over us. Let us pray for the leadership in all level of the government, especially those in the Religious affairs. May the Lord also raise up a generation of church leaders who are faithful and caring.

Wednesday
The earthquake in Sichuan and the transition of the Taiwan government have opened many channels of communications across the Strait. China has also accepted Taiwan's official donation for the rescue. It was not long ago that Taiwan experienced the worst "9-21" earthquake. Chinese use the term "brothers in suffering" to describe close kinship. We pray that churches on both sides will grow closer from this tragedy and Taiwan churches will be even more involved in helping churches in the mainland.

Thursday
The earthquake rescue effort turned out to be the largest mobilization of the Chinese military in recent time with nearly 100,000 soldiers involved. We thank the Lord as Chinese Christian volunteers were able to assist in the care of the victims. Christians from nearby churches in Chengdu, as well as from out of town got involved and many wore "Jesus Loves You" T-shirts while giving assistance in various locations.

Friday
Many schoolchildren perished in the earthquake. Not only must thousands of parents suddenly cope with the loss of a child, but many must cope with the loss of their only child. China's population minister recently praised the one-child rule, which dates to 1979, saying it has prevented 400 million children from being born. We continue to pray for all the victims' families, especially the grieving parents. May they come to a personal knowledge of the Father who lost His only begotten Son.

Saturday
Unlike during previous tragedies, the Chinese media reacted with open outrage in the recent massive train accidents in Shandong province. The government swiftly arrested local railroad officials. This is the second major accident of the same rail line in three months. Chinese believers often blame the lack of growth in their churches on their pastors too. Let us pray for all the churches that have become stagnant and even in decline. May the Lord quicken their hearts and fill us all with passion to walk closely with Him.

Sunday
Tigergate, one of several Internet scandals with sexually explicit photos circulating in China and featuring a Chinese rap star, has recently caused a major uproar. This reaction is predictable since they amplify and orchestrate incidents for public consumption and drive traffic to these sites. Many of the things purported to have happened in Chinese churches cannot be fully substantiated or are blown out of proportion in the reporting. Let us pray for even Christians who have a tendency to exaggerate or paint a rosier picture of their ministry.

Monday
Some of the key political figures in Taiwan are professed Christians. The newly elected Vice-president of Taiwan attended the rally of the World Prayer Day and shared his testimony publicly. We uplift these prominent public figures, businessmen and entertainers alike, may the Lord use their influence and testimony for His Kingdom purpose and great role model for young believers. We too pray for the Holy Spirit to keep them from all temptations.

星期二
在四川地震救災之中，高層領導人的參與及關注處處可見。他們的真情流露，成為災民、救援隊伍以及全國人民強而有力的精神鼓勵及盼望。聖經教導基督徒，需要為在上位執政掌權者禱告。讓我們常常記念政府各階層的領導能秉公義、好憐憫、敬天愛民，尤其那些管理宗教事務的人。願主也興起新一代教會的領袖們，忠心服事及關懷神的群羊。

星期三
四川地震，給了海峽兩岸政府和人民公開友善對話的契機。中國也接受臺灣當局提供的賑災捐輸。臺灣民眾不久前曾經歷九二一地震，自然更能深切體恤五一二浩劫對受災民眾帶來的苦難及影響 。「難兄難弟、同舟共濟」是華人形容骨肉之親彼此相顧的用語。我們記念兩岸的教會都能藉此艱難時刻，拉近彼此的距離；並且有更多的臺灣教會願意大力參與大陸的宣教事工及支援內地的教會。

星期四
軍人和武警部隊投入四川抗震救災的總兵力已近10萬人，是近年來中國最大規模的軍事調動。 感謝神，國內基督徒也組成了救災志願隊伍，在災區多處全力協助照顧受害民眾。來自成都及隣近地區教會的弟兄姊妹，身穿「耶穌愛你」的上衣，一邊分發救濟品，一邊安慰災民的情景令人印象深刻。讓我們為他們能流露基督的愛及有更多機會領人歸主來禱告，願主的恩慈透過教會大大彰顯。

星期五
地震中有許多學童不幸喪生。這不僅是成千上萬的家庭悲劇，也意味著因「一胎制」政策，這些父母失去獨生子女，成為家庭的「斷種」。不久之前，政府還讚揚自1979年至今，因著「一胎制」的實行，中國少了4億孩童人口。 我們繼續為所有遇難者的家屬禱告，尤其是那些悲痛的父母們，求神幫助他們也能在這次災難中，認識那曾為我們的罪，失去衪自己獨生愛子的天父。

星期六
不同於先前對重大悲劇事件的處理手法，中國媒體大肆報導了最近在山東省發生的嚴重火車事故，這是同一鐵路綫在三個月内發生的第二次事故，當局也迅速逮捕了地方鐵路官員。信徒常將教會的增長緩慢歸咎於牧者。讓我們為所有停滯不前，甚至人數下降的教會禱告，求神復興每一位信徒的靈命，都能夠一同堅定火熱地與祂同行。

星期日
「華南虎照片事件」是近年「互聯網欺騙醜聞」其中的一個，年初又出現香港饒舌歌手的不雅照片在網上流傳，掀起軒然大波。自從中國互聯網的門户大開，部份人利用互聯網來大造文章，引起公眾注意而從中獲益，這是難以約束、管理網絡資訊的必然結果。有很多有關華人教會的報導，人們亦無從判定消息及數據資料是否屬實，有否誇大之嫌？求主幫助眾教會能將實際狀況詳實向信徒展示，沒有報喜不報憂，更不試圖粉飾太平。

星期一
新任副總統出席參與「全球禱告日」活動，分享見證。有些臺灣政治人物是公開的基督徒，讓我們特別為這些矚目的公衆人物、商人及藝人們禱告，求主引導他們將影響力和見證，用於神國度之需，以謙卑敬虔，行公義、好憐憫成爲年輕信徒的榜樣。我們更祈求聖靈隨時保守他們躲避一切引誘、試探，成為一盞為主發光的燈臺。

Prayer Request 5/13 -- 5/19

Tuesday
《Special prayer》 As you are aware, the horrendous casualty from the earthquake in Sichuan province Monday continues to rise, and the fear for worse continues.
China hoped 2008 would be a yearlong celebration, a time to bask in the spotlight of the upcoming Beijing Olympics. Instead, the Year of the Rat has been a string of troubles — both natural and man-made — that are diverting the attention from the Olympic.
Remember the paralyzing snow storm in the Chinese New Year, the problem in Tibet, the recent terrible train accidents in Shandong and the viral infection that killed scores of children , all these have poured cold water to the festive mood Chinese are hoping to enjoy toward the August 8, the auspicious opening day of the 2008 Games.
We would like to invite you to pray along with all the Chinese believers in the following:

1. For the rescuing effort and divine comfort for all the victim's families.
2. A window of opportunity for Chinese Christian to demonstrate the love and compassion of God in this time of great suffering.
3. May the Lord soft the heart of all Chinese, not to depend on our strength and might, not to take glory in our own achievement, but to turn to God and give glory to Him alone.
4. Let us pray for all the Chinese churches, Mainland and overseas, as we all unite in prayer to uplift the country in God's hand.

The recent cyclone devastation in Myanmar has affected nearly half of its population. Many victims have yet to receive any relief. The two million Chinese there have largely been spared. The Chinese own rice shops and some have to quickly distribute rice for fear of whole-scale looting. Let us pray for the relief effort there, especially what the local Christian and Chinese churches can do to be a testimony of compassion in this deeply devout Buddhist country.

Wednesday
For many of the young Chinese, graduating from college means unemployment. There is stiff competition for any job for college graduates. In the Xinjiang province, 30% of them are unemployed. There is a sense of desperation among many college students. We are thankful for many students who have come to know Jesus in college, but let us pray that they will remain faithful and walk closely with Him after graduation.

Thursday
For millions of college students, graduation means bleak future. Among the large cities, like Beijing, Changsha, Shanghai, and Wuhan, 1 in 3 graduates will not be able to find a job. Many have even ridiculed the economic benefit of college education, since parents usually have to support them with savings. Among these cities, there are very active college ministries. They all try to focus on discipleship to prepare them once they graduate. Yet, a high percentage young Christians are lost due to lack of follow up. Let us keep praying for all who are disciplining the college students.

Friday
The “fifth year college student” is a phenomenon of unemployed college graduates. They usually claim they are studying to get into graduate schools, living near campus, enjoying the campus facilities but are not enrolled as students. Unemployed college graduates experience stress, depression, and impaired self-esteem because parents expect them to start making money. Let us pray for all the believers who are not able to find work or are unemployed. May they not lose trust and faith in God who promises that He will always provide for us.

Saturday
The government estimates that varying degrees of violence occur in 1/3 of all Chinese households. In 90% of cases, wives are the victims and 100,000 homes are destroyed every year because of violence in the home. Very few battered women report to police because of shame. Christian women who are abused have no outlets for advice or consolation in the church either. Let us pray along with all the believers who live with abusive husbands as they struggle with decision of separation and beyond.

Sunday
In Taiwan, there are almost 300,000 “foreign brides”- wives who came from Mainland China, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. These families are frequently ostracized because of their lack of language ability, education, and family support. The incidences of marital violence are very high among them. Many Taiwan churches are involved in helping the foreign brides, through teaching Chinese, assistance, and Bible study groups. Let us pray for these ministries and all those who show compassion, who are doing the cross-cultural mission at home.

Monday
This year, a total of 5.59 millions college students will graduate, which is 640,000 more than 2007. In the past, only 2 in 3 will find job and this year will be even harder for all the college graduates. There is an alarming trend of these unemployed, highly educated people to turn to criminal activities. Many observe that college students lack appreciation for ethics and traditional values.We continue to pray for many who work with college students, through teaching English and Bible studies. May the Lord give them wisdom in disciplining these new converts.

星期二
《緊急代禱》四川省在週一傳出7.9級地震的巨大災變，各界雖然奮力的搶救，傷亡人數仍然持續上升中。在全球的眼光聚焦即將到來的北京奧運會， 2008年原本是中國人期待能歡慶的一年，然而「鼠」年已被一連串的災禍轉移了對奧運的注意力。猶記在中國新年裡癱瘓春運的暴風雪，西藏抗爭，最近在山東的火車意外，及兒童感染腸病毒等事件，讓2008年奧運會能在8月8日以吉祥節慶的氣氛開幕增添了變數。

我們邀請您與中國信徒一起祈禱：

一. 求主憐憫保守仍陷險境的居民和遊客能堅持待救。也幫助各方援救工作能順利展開，及時搶救傷亡。

二. 求主幫助中國教會在驚惶悲痛的災後時刻，把握這個流通神的愛和憐憫的窗口，積極安慰、援助許多失去親人、財產的同胞。

三.求主柔軟所有中國人的心，能謙卑下來，不自恃力氣和才幹，矜誇自己的成就，而把神當得的榮耀歸給他。

四、讓我們為所有中國教會祈禱，不分國內外的，都能同心合一祈求，將這個國家交託在神的恩手中蒙潔淨、保守和賜福。

近日緬甸慘遭強力熱帶氣旋肆虐，半數人口受到蹂躪。風災後，許多地區的災民仍未獲派民生物資援助。當地二百萬華僑中，有不少人從事糧食買賣，在災民圍搶糧倉時，只好主動開倉派發大米。讓我們為救災工作能迅速展開禱告，在這個信奉佛教的國家中，尤其記念當地的基督徒和教會盡力救援鄰舍，努力見證主憐憫人的心腸。

星期三
許多中國大學生，一旦畢業就等於失業。應屆畢業生的求職競爭激烈非常。在新疆，每年約3成的畢業生處於失業狀態。很多大學生都有巨大的就業壓力。我們為著許多在校園中認識基督的學生感恩，並且祈求神的保守，直至他們畢業後仍然能忠心地與神同行。

星期四
中國數百萬的大學畢業生，前途迷茫。在北京，長沙，上海和武漢這些大城市，有三分之一的應屆畢業生找不到工作。許多人甚至譏諷大學教育的經濟效益太低，畢竟升學靠的都是父母儲蓄的血汗錢。這些城市的大學事工非常活躍，也嘗試加強門徒訓練，為學生們畢業後做好裝備，但是由於缺乏跟進，年輕信徒的流失率高。讓我們為所有的栽培員禱告。求主加倍賜下信心和毅力，使同工能幫助年輕信徒在信仰上紮深根。

星期五
大學「五年級生」，指尚未找到工作的畢業生，他們常以“考研究所”為由，住在校園附近，並使用學校設施。失業待職的畢業生往往經歷許多壓力和憂鬱，又因父母寄望他們開始掙錢不果而自信心受損。讓我們為所有待業已久或失業的信徒們禱告，希望他們不失去對神的信靠，相信祂的應許：因為神必定供應。

星期六
據調查顯示，三分之一中國家庭中，存在家庭暴力；施暴者九成是男性;發生在夫妻間的家庭暴力，受害者有85 ％以上是婦女;每年有10萬個家庭因此解體。礙於家暴是不宜外揚的「家醜」，很少受害婦女會報警。基督徒姐妹也一樣，因此無從獲得有效的諮商及輔導協助。讓我們為有家暴問題的信徒禱告，特別是一些掙紮於分居與否矛盾中的姐妹，求主親自安慰、保護並差派合適援手幫助她們。

星期日
在臺灣有將近三十萬來自中國大陸，越南，菲律賓，印尼，和泰國的外籍新娘。因爲語言障礙、教育文化差異、和缺乏親人的支持，他們倍感孤立，婚姻暴力發生率也很高。許多教會透過教華語、提供生活協助、以及聖經班，來幫助外籍配偶，讓我們為這些事工禱告，求主記念所有付出愛心，在家中進行跨文化福音事工的信徒。

星期一
今年中國大學畢業生達到559萬人，比去年多了64萬人。過去大學畢業生中，只有三分之二求職成功，今年預料將更艱難。這群受過高等教育的人，因無業而涉足犯罪活動的趨勢令人堪憂。現在的大學生普遍欠缺道德感和傳統價值觀薄弱。許多從事大學生工作的同工，正通過教英語和帶領研讀聖經，把聖經中的聖潔生活觀帶給大學生，讓我們禱告求主加添他們智慧來栽培和訓練初信徒。

Prayer Request 5/6 -- 5/12

Tuesday
One of the challenging problems confronting House Churches is the working of evil spirits such as Qi gong, fortune telling, etc. Many national believers are attracted to the marvels of wonders and paranormal activities and although the Bible warns believers not to dabble in such practices, many are still drawn to what they consider supernatural power. Let us pray for strong teaching against such movements in the church and the loss of wayward sheep through them.

Wednesday
For many of the young “post-1980”couples, their ideas of marriage are very different than that of their parents. They emphasize "liberty", demand individual privacy, and an unrestricted circle of friends as well the ability to participate in individual activities. The thinking and worldview of these young people is foreign to their elders, especially in the Chinese churches. But we cannot give up this whole generation. May the Lord give wisdom and patience to people in the churches and help them to know how to connect and minister to all young people.

Thursday
"Going Dutch" or each one paying for his/her share of their financial obligations is popular among young couples in China whether they are married or not. Husbands make the mortgage payments and wives pay the living expenses. They each support their parents individually. They claim that this way, in case of divorce, the financial affairs are simplified. Let us intercede along with all Christian parents praying for their children who are starting their families, especially those who marry unbelievers. We desire their children to know and love the Lord as their parents do.

Friday
We praise God because there are more young people in many urban churches in the last ten years than there were in the past. But there are issues about marriage for these young singles. Many women believers feel disappointed or have lost hope in seeking a potential mate among believers. Marriage counseling is very new or unheard of among churches in China and many of those who do counseling are women pastors. Let us pray for faith for all of those who want to get married and desire to honor God in their marriage.

Saturday
When Chinese believers have a family crisis or marital conflict, seeking counseling from the pastor is rarely an option because they are unavailable and/or untrained to do it. Counseling is generally done by older, mature ladies in the church and is limited to prayer and advice only. Marital problems among believers are of epidemic proportions and the counseling ministry is in its infancy in Chinese churches. Let us pray that faith in God is lived out in the homes of all believers, especially in those of people who are married to unbelievers or lukewarm Christians.

Sunday
Henan is the most populous province, but it is also one of the poorest. Many Henan people have left their villages with only an elementary-school education to seek work in cities and other provinces. Seeking a better life in cities is the main reason that is driving the tidal wave of migrant workers in China. Many migrant workers were once church attendees back in their villages, but they have not found places of worship in cities. Let us pray for continuing faith for all the Henan migrant workers and some Wenzhou-supported churches, who are reaching out to them.

Monday
One reason why China has the world’s highest rate of female suicide is that rural women continue to have little social status. The traditional low view of women is pervasive in most villages, especially the poor regions. There is a huge divide between the women in the cities and in the villages. Let us pray for all the rural sisters in Christ, may they be spiritually strong, not only in their families but also reaching out to help other women in their neighborhood.

星期二
辨識「邪靈」是目前中國家庭教會所面對的最新挑戰。許多肢體往往也熱衷於追求超自然的靈異經驗，如練氣功、算命看相、筆仙等活動，甚至被邪靈所附而不自知。聖經明確教導我們不可涉及此類活動，求主幫助眾教會對於屬靈方面的認識與警醒，都有正確的了解，也有智慧去面對和適當的處理。

星期三
許多「80後」的年輕夫妻族群，他們高聲呼喊「自由」的口號，認為夫妻間不應干涉彼此的社交圈，彼此擁有各自的朋友，不需要丈夫或妻子過問，否則便干犯了個人隱私權。在中國教會中，許多長者難以體會這年輕一代的價值觀及思想。求神讓同工們能有更多智慧和耐心來服事他們，讓「80後」不會和教會與牧者脫節。

星期四
年輕中國夫妻的財產管理以「AA」制為主，那就是婚前約定，收入自用，財產自有，開銷各自負擔，各自負責管理各自的金錢。丈夫負責房屋貸款，妻子負責生活開銷，甚至在奉養雙親上也是各自經濟獨立的，彼此沒有義務負責對方的雙親任何生活花費。因著離婚率盛行，夫妻間爲了預防將來離婚後發生財務糾紛，便以此方式應變。願神感動所有基督徒父母的心，使他們更迫切為他們子女的婚姻禱告，特別是那些娶嫁了未信主配偶的。

星期五
近十年來城市教會年輕人增多，我們為此感謝神。但另一方面許多棘手的問題接踵而至，許多嚮往婚姻的年輕單身族面臨找不到合適對象的困境，或者受有關婚姻問題的困惑。目前城市教會正面臨婚姻輔導體系尚未完善建立，缺乏受過專業輔導培訓的人員，特別是弟兄。我們也為許多渴望建立基督化家庭榮耀神的弟兄姐妹禱告 。

星期六
當弟兄姐妹在婚姻上遇到危機或衝突時，由於現實中少有受過專業婚姻輔導的牧者能協助他們，只能求助於教會中一些年長的姐妹或是信得過的基督徒，通常也僅能提供代禱和非專業的建議而己。我們求神繼續興起同工能接受更多的婚姻專業輔導訓練，把神的真理及價值觀帶給眾信徒，能在日常中活出信心的見証，尤其是配偶是不信者或靈性軟弱者。

星期日
河南是中國第一人口大省，卻也是最貧窮的省份之一。許多只受過小學教育的河南人，離鄉往城市和其他省份去覓職。到城市圖更好的生活的念頭，是中國的民工巨潮的主要成因。許多民エ都曾是農村教會的信徒，只是在城市裡沒有找到崇拜聚會的場所。讓我們為所有河南民工能持守信仰來禱告，也記念那些由溫州信徒支助，致力於向河南人傳福音的教會。

星期一
中國農村婦女的社會地位低微，是中國女性自殺率冠於全球的原因之一。傳統男尊女卑的觀念滲透中國農村，貧窮地區尤其嚴重。而城市婦女和農村婦女的地位和待遇則有天淵之別。讓我們特別為農村的主内姊妹們禱告，願她們靈裏靠主剛強，成為一盞為主發光的燈臺，不但能夠輔佐家人，更可以神的愛和安慰幫助周遭不幸人。
