Tuesday
As China grew richer, its people began to yearn for sophisticated smartphones, fresher food, and better health care, thus creating vast business opportunities for Western companies. Last year, China imported more than $22 billion worth of medical devices. We praise the Lord for the prosperity China has enjoyed. We pray for the Lord's mercy, that the believer's spiritual lives are not corroded by materialism and their faith in God will not diminish, and that churches will stand strong in times of testing and suffering.
Wednesday
As China expands its social safety net and faces pressure to treat an aging population growing increasingly susceptible to chronic diseases, China will spend $1 trillion on health care annually by 2020. The aging trend of the churches in China is perhaps inevitable. We ask the Lord for an extra measure of grace for all elderly believers, raising up more volunteers who are retired, physically able and have a passion to minister to the older members in the churches.
Thursday
In its time of great growth, China has often outstripped its ability to identify corruption or enforce its own laws. In some segments of its economy like health care, this has created a culture of bribery and corruption.Christians always feel helpless or stay distant from the issue of social corruption. We pray that there will be more believers to pray for their country and their leaders, as James 5:16 says: "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
Friday
The nearly 1.4 billion people in China ultimately pay the price of rampant corruption. Salespeople have inflated prices for imported medical equipment to fund bribes and kickbacks. They have also refused to undercut each other's pricing, inflating prices for hospitals by fifty percent or even more. We pray that believers will see the urgent need to evangelize actively because only the gospel is the power of God that can change people's hearts and thus transform society.
Saturday
Last year, China imported more than $22 billion worth of medical devices. Foreign companies dominate the market for CT scanners, M.R.I.s and other equipment that China needs to detect cancer and other chronic diseases. We pray that God will keep believers from falling into temptation and evil. The Holy Spirit reminds us all that we need the uncompromising spirit of Joseph and Daniel. We also pray for church leaders that they will fear God, have integrity and not be greedy.
Sunday
Corruption is endemic in the health care sector in China, one factor is the lower salaries for doctors and health care administrators compared with their counterparts in the private sector. There is a saying that "The reason Chinese people do not take bribes is that they have not had the opportunity". May the Lord grant us His righteousness and help us to say away from deceit and treachery and enable us to be more Christ-like, to bear witness for Him, and speak boldly for His truth.
Monday
Over the years, officials in China and other countries have been trying to eliminate corruption, especially in the medical system. Patients need to bribe doctors and hospitals just to see a specialist. Ultimately, it is the patients who pay much more for these practices. Believers must be a powerful testimony for Jesus by living out the way of the gospel. We pray that all Christians will have such influence, especially those who are healthcare workers and teachers.

星期二
當中國人的生活更加富裕，人們渴求智慧型手機、熱愛新鮮食品，以及尋求優質的醫療保健，這為西方企業創造了巨大的商機。去年中國進口了總值超過220億美元的醫療設備。我們為中國人經濟日益充裕向神感恩之餘，也求主憐憫信徒，不因物質享受而侵蝕靈命成長，對神的信心不減少，也保守教會能在苦難和試煉中站立得穩。
星期三
政府正致力擴大社會保障系統，因為預測前面將有越來越多患慢性疾病的老年人口。到2020年，中國每年花在醫療保健上的錢將達到1兆美元。教會的老齡化是必然的趨勢，求主恩待所有年長信徒，也興起教會中已退休卻體健仍有精力的信徒，分擔關懷教會老人的責任，彌補牧者的不足。
星期四
經濟增長的同時也帶官僚腐敗。在一些行業中比如醫療保健，就已經形成了一種行賄和腐敗的文化。基督徒面對社會種種腐敗現象總有無可奈何的感受，或者避而不談。求主興起更多信徒為自己的國家以及領袖懇切禱告。誠如提摩太前書2:1-2 "我勸你，第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝；為君王和一切在位的，也該如此，使我們可以敬虔、端正、平安無事地度日。"
星期五
14億的中國老百姓默默承擔着的腐敗代價 。為了支付賄賂和回扣，銷售人員故意提高醫療設備的定價，還拒絕削價競爭，導致醫院為設備支付的價格高出50%，甚至更多。為了社會真正的公義能彰顯，求主感動更多信徒積極傳揚福音，因為福音是神的大能，能夠改變人心。聖靈來叫世人為罪、為義、為審判，自己責備自己。
星期六
中國去年進口了總值超過220億美元的醫療設備 ，為了檢測癌症和其他慢性疾病，中國亟需電腦掃描機、核磁共振掃描儀等相關設備，而外國公司主控著這塊商機十足的市場。願聖靈提醒我們要有像約瑟和但以理的心志，正直純良不向俗世妥協。也求主不叫我們遇見試探；救我們脫離凶惡。我們更為教會的領袖有敬畏神、正直的心和不貪戀錢財禱告。
星期日
中國的醫療保健行業普遍腐敗，原因之一是與私營部門的同齡人相比，醫生和衛生保健管理人員的工資偏低。有人說：「沒有收賄賂的人是因為他們還沒有機會。」求主賜我們有公義正直和清潔的良心，不做詐騙取巧的事。 更是能效法主耶穌，為真理作見證，大膽為真理發聲。
星期一
多年來，中國和其他國家的官員一直試圖消除腐敗，尤其是中國醫藥界制度裡的腐敗。病人看病都需要賄賂醫生和醫院，直接後果是病人要掏出更多的錢。基督徒需要有生活的見證，活出福音的榜樣。我們特別為基督徒的醫護人員和老師來禱告，求主帮助他們能凝聚成清流，發揮匡正社會風氣的影響力。
