Good Monday to everyone! I just want to share a little something with you that I think is important to remember and be to be focused as a Christian. Often we get caught up in the things around us, the busy schedules, the media outlets (Facebook, internet, Twitter, television) that we forget what are real purpose of life is. I know each of us have a specific reason for being on this earth and God knows what plans he has for us. But with out a doubt for all Christians, our purpose is 1) to give God glory, and 2) tell a lost and dying world about Christ. Isn't that awesome?! We have the privilege everyday to wake up and tell the world about the victorious living through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!! Not only is it our privilege but its also our responsibility. This week is considered Passion Week. On friday, we remember that Christ payed the ultimate sacrifice, he was our lamb offering, dying on the cross for our sins that we may be forgiven. Sunday, we worship the risen King! He's Alive! He's Alive! Isn't that something that all the world ought to hear? Would you help pray for the people of China? They need to hear that Jesus Christ is alive and he died for them! Here are the prayer challenges for today.
March 29
Guangdong Province
CHALLENGES FOR PRAYER
1) Guangdong was the first province evangelized by Protestants
2) Cantonese and Hakka Chinese are often traders and entrepreneurs
3) Christians have been under severe pressure from the police who, since 1999, have made great efforts to subjugate the house churches
4) The Biao Mien and Zaomin Yao in the northern mountains are two distinct peoples, but in both there are only a few believers, mainly young people
5) Cantonese and Hakka are two major components of the Overseas Chinese in SE Asia and other continents
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region
CHALLENGES FOR PRAYER
1) The growth of Christians among the Thai-related Zhuang and also among the Han gives cause for praise! From 7,000 Christians in 1949 there are over 10 times that membership today – about half are Zhuang
2) The Zhuang have responded in the last decade through a concerted prayer and ministry effort for their evangelization
3) The Yao peoples total about 2.2m in the mountains of Guangxi
