People of China

CHINA. Pray for Christian workers in China to find creative and meaningful ways to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with friends and neighbors during the annual Lunar New Year celebration that will begin with Feb. 13 New Year’s Eve celebrations and continue for two weeks. Pray for open doors into the homes of Chinese people during this most important Chinese festival, and pray that Christian workers will also open the doors of their homes to Chinese people. Ask God to work mightily in the hearts of Chinese people who are still living apart from a relationship with Christ.

CHINA. The Chinese New Year will fall on Valentine’s Day this year, a rare occurrence that has been called a potential clash between Cupid and the Tiger, as China ushers in the “Year of the Tiger” on Feb. 14. Chinese commentators are already discussing the decisions that will have to be made as Chinese young people try to balance their all-important Lunar New Year family celebrations with the increasingly popular Valentine’s celebrations with their “significant others”. Pray that the love of Christ will be shared in many ways throughout this season of celebration, and that many will receive Him.

CHINA. With millions of people traveling to their family homes and others traveling overseas at the Lunar New Year, China will again undergo what has come to be known as the “greatest annual human migration.” Pray that Chinese Christians will have many opportunities to share the love of Christ, both on the road and among their hometown families and friends. Pray that China’s 1.3 billion people will know how much God loves them.
