This Week's Prayer Guide
September 15 - This week, pray for the needs and challenges of the people in Lanzhou. Pray that the church will witness Christ by loving and helping to meet the needs of their neighbors.
September 16 - A pastor shares that there is a barrier between Muslim Hui people and Han Chinese people in Lanzhou. "I've always believed that this is a sin that the church has not recognized. There is such a large Muslim population in this city, but the church, because it is made up of Han Chinese, turns a blind eye to them. But when you are unwilling to love your neighbor, it will in turn affect the development of the local church." Pray for Han Christians to live in love, not hatred, that they may reach out to the Muslim people who live in Lanzhou.
September 17 - One Lanzhou pastor observes, "When we talk about missions to foreign tribes or missions in general, we tend to picture going to a distant Muslim community. We imagine our church sending a missionary to a specifically Muslim community to preach the gospel to them. But when it comes to sharing the gospel with Muslims around us, we lack that same feeling, that same urgency." Pray for a sense of urgency for Christians in Lanzhou, that they might prioritize reaching out to their local community with the gospel.
September 18 - A pastor in Lanzhou shares that, when a Muslim person in Lanzhou becomes a Christian, there are only Han Chinese churches available to them. As such, "they are forced to assimilate into the Han Chinese circle, leading to a break with their entire family due to their change in faith. They can no longer return to their families. So, we might save one Muslim, but we cause their entire family to resent Christianity." Pray for wise solutions for this problem, and for a more diverse church in Lanzhou.
September 19 - Pray for the increasing unemployment in Lanzhou, for young people who can't find jobs and who, as a result, don't want to get married or have children.
September 20 - A pastor in Lanzhou asks for prayer for the fact that, "The barrier and wall between believers and unbelievers seems so high. Sometimes, our brothers and sisters feel disheartened because they've tried so hard to bring people to church, and some have even come three or four times, but there's no sign of genuine repentance, rebirth, or being touched by God. I think the frequency of people with no Christian background coming to church and coming to faith is rapidly declining."
September 21 - A pastor in Lanzhou asks for prayer, "that God will truly build a heart for missions in our church. May the Lord use more brothers and sisters who are willing to enter into God's mission and be truly touched by the Gospel, by the Gospel of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."
9月15日：本周，为兰州人的需要和挑战祷告。求主帮助教会能够通过爱和帮助满足邻舍的需要来见证基督。
9月16日：一位牧师分享说，在兰州，穆斯林回族人和汉族人之间存在隔阂。"我一直认为这是教会没有认识到的罪。这个城市有如此多的穆斯林人口，但教会因为是由汉族人组成的，所以对他们视而不见。但是当你不愿意爱你的邻舍时，反过来也会影响当地教会的发展。" 为汉族基督徒祷告，让他们活在爱中，而非仇恨中，以便能够向居住在兰州的穆斯林传福音。
9月17日--一位兰州的牧师观察到："当我们谈到向外国部落宣教或一般宣教时，我们往往会想象去一个遥远的穆斯林社区。我们想象我们的教会派遣宣教士去一个特定的穆斯林社区向他们传福音。但是在与我们周围的穆斯林分享福音时，我们缺乏同样的感觉，同样的紧迫感。为兰州的基督徒祷告，让他们有紧迫感，能够优先向当地社区传福音。
9月18日--兰州的一位牧师分享说，当兰州的穆斯林成为基督徒时，只有汉族的教会可以牧养他们。因此，"他们被迫融入汉族人的圈子，由于信仰的改变而导致与整个家庭的决裂。他们再也无法回到自己的家庭。因此，我们可能会拯救一个穆斯林，但却会导致他们的整个家庭对基督教产生反感。" 为这个问题得到明智解决方案而祷告，也为兰州教会更加多元化祷告。
9月19日--为兰州日益严重的失业问题祷告，为找不到工作、因此不想结婚或生孩子的年轻人祷告。
9月20日--兰州的一位牧师请求为以下事实祷告："信徒和非信徒之间的隔阂和墙壁似乎很高。有时，我们的弟兄姐妹会感到沮丧，因为他们已经很努力地把人带到教会，有些人甚至已经来了三四次，但却没有真正悔改、重生或被神感动的迹象。我认为没有基督教背景的人来教会和信主的频率正在迅速下降。"
9月21日--兰州的一位牧师祷告，"求神在我们教会中真正建立起宣教的心。愿主使用更多的弟兄姊妹愿意进入神的使命，真正被福音所感动，被耶稣基督受死和复活的福音所感动"。
