Prayer Request 11/1 - 11/7

Tuesday
More than 900 pastors of house churches from China gathered to mobilize at least 20,000 Chinese missionaries to plant thousands of churches by the year of 2030. We give thanks that churches in China have come together with this vision. We pray, too, that ministry goals will not become​ mere slogans but that churches will humbly work together and realize they can learn from each other.
Wednesday
When the ​pastors of house churches in China chose the number 20,000, it was because they estimate about that many foreign missionaries have been sent to China in the last two centuries. They claim that China must repay the "debt of the gospel" in order to be a true "missionary sending country". World evangelism should not be tinted with nationalistic pride so we pray for humility and willingness to learn from others for the church in China which has much to learn from Western and even Korean churches in sending missionaries.
Thursday
The bold vision​ of the church in China to mobilize, equip, and send 20,000 missionaries in the next fifteen years will be achieved only the by work of God's Spirit Who unites the church to accomplish this God-sized dream. We ask our Lord on behalf of churches in China for true unity, not just ambition to expand one's churches for self gain, and that they will work as a team sharing their resources, time, effort, and finances.
Friday
To send out 20,000 Chinese missionaries in fifteen years will be the greatest missions effort of the church there in all of their history and can have a tremendous impact on global missions. We pray for humility and unity for church leaders so they can share the vision and begin selecting and training candidates in their churches and that overseas Chinese churches will also get involved and help them.
Saturday
Cults and heresies​ thrive in rural China because hearts are empty and believers lack adequate teaching. They do, however, give poor people some hope and even some monetary benefits. We pray for those believers who have been led astray and also churches that have been ravaged by cults. May the Lord have mercy on them and deliver them from false teachings helping them to realize the deception and give them a desire to return to the truth.
Sunday
All kinds of social issues, injustice or disparity of rich and poor, vicious competition, pollution, food safety and corruption, make poor people more vulnerable to the doomsday preaching of cults. ​Many believers in China simply accept what charismatic preachers say because they do not have ​a ​Biblical foundation. We pray for wisdom and spiritual discernment for all believers in China, ​but ​above all, a hunger for God's Word.​
Monday
There has been an increase in cheating on the college entrance and post-graduate entrance exams in China.​ This is a complex and profit-making business. Students view the buying of answers to the exam online as an open secret. We pray for parents who are believers and teach their children Biblical values along with Christian students in China who face immense pressure to excel in their studies.

中國家庭教會的牧師和領袖聚集，計劃在2030年時建立數千間教會、以及至少動員20,000名宣教士的挑戰。感謝主家庭教會有這樣的合一的異象，求主幫助我們在展望及開拓事工時，不僅有遠大的意象，更能謙卑地彼此搭配，總是看別人比自己強，心中常懷神國度的藍圖。
星期三
在過去200年裡，大約有20,000名外國宣教士被差派到中國，這是所謂的“中國欠世界福音的債”。普世宣教是神的心意，不應帶有民族優越。求主賜給中國教會謙卑、願意效法見賢思齊的心智，吸取西國及韓國教會的宣教經驗，在聖靈的引領下，遵行大使命。
星期四
要在未來十五年裡動員、裝備並差派20,000名宣教士的異象，惟有靠著主才能夠實現這個巨大夢想。求主賜給中國教會的合一，不圖擴展自己的教會，不是為自己的名利，而是神的兒女不分你我他，同心携手投資時間，精力和資金來配搭完成這個神聖的異象。
星期五
如果中國教會在15年內能差遣兩萬名宣教士，將是「歷史上規模最龐大的中國宣教士差派行動」，「世界宣教的面貌即將發生大幅度的改變！」求主幫助教會領袖們謙卑並合一，能團結傳達這個意象，在他們的教會中付出諸實際行動，開始選拔、訓練人才。求主也感動海外華人教會能積極參與。
星期六
邪教異端在農村中的興盛是因為沒有足夠的真理教導。 異端的教導不僅為那些在貧窮的農村信徒帶來一些不實的盼望，甚至也提經濟的好處。我們為被欺騙的信徒，求神的憐憫，叫他們發現錯誤，引領他們歸回真道。也為被異端摧殘的教會能再次被建立禱告。
星期日
中國各種社會問題, 例如不公義和貧富巨差、激烈的競爭、環境污染、食品安全，以及貪腐，都導使貧窮人特別容易接受異端邪教的世界末日宣傳。不少中國的信徒只是聽從傳道人說的，自己對聖經根本沒有基礎的認識。求主賜給我們智慧與能分辨的靈，更是對神的話語有渴慕追求的心。
星期一
近年高考、研究生考試作弊事件頻傳，考試作弊已成為牟利產業，網路上可以購買考試答案已成「公開的秘密」。我們來為信徒父母祈求，從小教導子女有正確的價值觀，也為那些在學業上，大有壓力的學生禱告。
