  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

PRAYER CENTRAL

CHINA

CITY OF LANZHOU

This week, pray for churches in Lanzhou and the work of the gospel. Pray that believers in Lanzhou will know the love of Christ in their lives and will increasingly fall more in love with him, being an example of the gospel to the city around them.
Ever since the new religious regulations in 2018, churches in Lanzhou have been banned, or forced to meet less publicly or exclusively online. Pray for grace and peace for churches feeling this strain, that the gospel might flourish in their midst.

A Lanzhou pastor shares that their church is made up of many sisters whose husbands are not believers. "So the foundation of these families in the church is actually unstable. It is not a case of families serving the Lord together, but rather individual sisters coming to Christ." Pray for good marriage ministry in churches like this, for the church to minister to these wives and for their husbands to come to know Christ.


One Lanzhou pastor asks for prayer "that the Gospel will truly restore trust in the church in Lanzhou. Because of the special circumstances of the past and the division caused by the 'Local Church' movement , the churches here are struggling to truly reunite. So we really pray that the Lord would unite the church in the Gospel so that we can work together to advance His Kingdom."
