Tuesday
In China there are many jobs in factories that are open with no one to fill them while many educated young workers are unemployed or underemployed. Among those in their early twenties, those with a college degree are four times as likely to be unemployed as people with only an elementary school education. We praise God for the many college students who have received salvation and we pray for follow-up for them since many are lost after graduation. May the Lord give us even more students who want to find true value and direction in life through campus ministries.
Wednesday
China’s swift expansion in education over this last decade includes quadrupling the number of college students each year which then produces millions of engineers and scientists. The best of these graduates can have their pick of jobs at any Chinese company. We pray that more churches will support ministries on college campuses. They can use holidays to host various events to equip young believers and help them to become more mature spiritually and then have powerful testimonies.
Thursday
China is turning out millions of graduates with few marketable skills, coupled with a conviction that they are entitled to office jobs with respectable salaries. Jobs in the banking sector pay very well so parents push their child into finance-related studies. Many Christian college students give up their faith when they cannot find work after graduation. We pray for the moving of the Holy Spirit so the faith of these young believers will be deeply rooted in the Bible and they will walk closely with the Lord.
Friday
Young, educated Chinese without steady jobs spend long hours surfing the Internet, getting together with friends and complaining about the shortage of office jobs for which they believe they were trained. Let us pray for all the campus ministries that badly need pastors and spiritual mentors for all of these young believers. We ask the Lord for more workers with passion to reach out to college students and help them grow spiritually.
Saturday
College students in China are very choosy and they have a common aversion to factory labor since they are accustomed to seeing themselves as part of elite group when they enter college. We pray for maturity in interpersonal relationships for all the Christian college students so they will not be despised because of their youth, but will rather honor God in all things, rejoice in the Lord, and learn to serve with a pure heart as an example to many.
Sunday
China has an old Confucian tradition which says that educated people will not engage in manual labor but the economy in China today is still dominated by blue-collar jobs. Chinese believers feel that pastors are God’s servants but they would never want their own child to be a full-time church worker since they know that pastors are poor and many people look down on them. May the Lord have mercy on churches and help believers change their attitude toward God’s servants.
Monday
The glut of college graduates in China is eroding wages even for those with computer science degrees. There are so many of them that their salary in Shenzhen has fallen to only 550 USD. a month which is less than twice the wage of a blue-collar worker. We pray for more workers to be involved in college ministries and that believers from every walk of life will partner in reaching out to college students. There is always a tendency to “build one’s own turf” and not be willing to share resources. We pray for unity and a vision for building the Kingdom.

工廠工作無人問津，卻同時有許多曾受教育的年輕人處於失業或半失業狀態。在二十歲出頭的年輕人當中，有高等教育文憑的人的失業機率，是小學教育水平人群的四倍。我們為大學生信徒不斷增加而感恩，但許多學生畢業後就不參加聚會，也在禱告中記念跟進畢業生的事工。求主繼續興起工人在校園裡拯救年輕的生命，讓更多迷茫的學生找到生命的價值和方向。
星期三
過去十年每年從高校畢業的學生人數增長四倍，理工學院培養出數百萬工程師和科學家，但因僧多粥少，只有最優秀的畢業生才能在中國企業找到理想職位。我們為各教會能支持大學生事工禱告，願主幫助他們善用節日、假期，藉著不同的活動，裝備各地的學生，幫助他們的靈命成長，能在校園為主作見證。
星期四
中國每年培養出數百萬高校畢業生，可是某些畢業生幾乎拿不出任何謀生技能，卻仍然堅持自己理應得到報酬不錯的辦公室工作。銀行業薪水高，家長都盼望孩子能在銀行就業。有些大學生因為找工作艱難就埋怨神，甚至放棄信仰。我們為大學生禱告，求主將賜人啟示的靈賜給他們，使他們在神的話語上有更多的裝備，並且切實在生活裡與主同行，生命能扎根成長。
星期五
在中國很多教育程度較高卻沒有穩定工作的年輕人會把時間花在上網、朋友聚會，以及抱怨短缺白領工作上，他們認為只有辦公室工作才能與自己的專業相稱。我們為大學生的牧養工作禱告。目前大學禾場很缺乏牧者及屬靈導師，因而影響牧養果效，求主差遣更多工人進入校園，協助餵養大學生的靈命。
星期六
當今的中國大學畢業生非常挑剔，通常都對工廠工作感到厭惡。當他們進入大學後，就把自己看成天之驕子。我們為信主的大學生禱告，求主賜給他們在待人接物上越更成熟，不叫人小看他們年輕，在凡事上尊主為大，以神為樂，單純靠主事奉的心成為眾人的榜樣。

中國有數千年的儒家傳統，按照這種傳統，受過教育的人不應當靠體力勞動糊口；可是，現今中國經濟仍主要以藍領工作為主。在許多信徒眼裡，雖然知道「傳道人」是「神的僕人」，但是他們卻絕不願自己的孩子成為全職傳道人，怕他們捱窮，不受尊重，也不被社會認同。求主憐憫中國教會，改變信徒家長的態度。
星期一
畢業生供過於求，壓低計算機科學等熱門專業所能得到的薪水。在深圳他們的月薪降到了550美元，不到一個藍領工人的兩倍。我們為有更多人參與大學生福音工作禱告，求主感動社會各階層的信徒, 一起配搭發展大學生事工。願大家能善用資源，而不是分化地盤界限，服侍大學生群體。
