ANHUI PROVINCE

LOCATED IN CENTRAL CHINA

Next door to my province of Jiangsu is Anhui province, you can tell you are in Anhui by the white houses that predominate every village and small town.

Nearly a fifth of the population claim to be Christian, several revivals in the early days of church growth, brought a lot of godly leaders into the church, but now as a new generation starts to take over the leadership of the church, a fresh outpouring of the holy spirit is needed. Please pray for this.

Persecution of the church is very active with many leaders being arrested, but also unity amongst church networks is an issue, as many disagreements over small points of doctrine and how church is organized have arisen, leading to many leaving the church

The church needs to be trained well, there is a lack of trained leaders, and so many church members are open to error, many pastors have to look after 5-7 churches and are overworked and unappreciated,

I heard of a seminary class of 50, now there is one person actively serving God, many go back into the world to seek to earn more money.

Please pray for a deep and powerful outpouring of the Holy spirit 

CHONGQING CITY

LOCATED IN SICHUAN PROVINCE

Of all the cities, I have been to, this is the most amazing, I visited back in 2024, trains going into houses, railway stations in blocks of houses, subways at 300 metres below ground, this city certainly has the wow factor.

Given all these things, there is a growing and vibrant church in this place.

Please pray for the church to be strengthened and increased, again blessing in the past, does not mean blessing in the future. The ground must be watered with the prayers of the saints.

Many people are flocking to Chongqing, not just for work, but as a tourist must see,  please pray that the church would reach out in dynamic power to the people who live in Chongqing and come to visit.

Continue to pray for the city,  it is becoming strategic for the gospel. 

Thanks, may many come to faith in both Anhui and Chongqing.

MANDARIN CHINESE

920 million Han Chinese mandarin speakers, this is the largest people group in the world, although 50-75 million have professed Christ, that leaves well over 800 million without Christ.

Please pray

MANDARIN CHINESE

They have moved to every country on earth, and travel all over the world. They are no longer a closed door, but an open one, please pray that the churches in the west, would reach out to the millions of Chinese overseas.

Pray for a deep missions vision, that not only, would they reach out to the millions of Mandarin Chinese, but also to the many minority groups.
