Please pray for the pastors and co workers that they would be protected, they are called in to take tea by the police etc, and they have to cope like our pastor, 3-5 churches. This puts them under great strain, especially on relationships with children and spouses.
Please pray for God's anointing on all of them, as they faithfully preach the gospel. Please remember our two pastors, Z and GM.
Please pray that men would be mobilised, our church is 90-95% women. Men are either too busy or weak to serve. It needs a revolution in their thinking and mindset. Please pray for our men, esp MW, L, W and Y, would lead and be a blessing to the church.
Please pray for the children of China, most parents are only concerned about the score at the end of the year. Reputation is everything. Please pray for those children, who trust Christ, who are bombarded by humanistic evolution/atheism.
Please pray for a turning to God amongst professors and university students. This happened many years ago, but needs a fresh move of the Holy Spirit.
Please pray for China
UN-REACHED PEOPLES
MONGOLS
What Are Their Needs?
Without the guidance of Christ, these people are like sheep without a shepherd. They need the good shepherd in their families and communities.
Prayer Points
Pray for the authority of Christ to bind hindering spiritual forces to lead them from darkness to light.
Pray for signs and wonders to happen among them and for great breakthroughs with a rapid multiplication of disciples and house churches.
Pray for bold workers who are driven by the love of the Holy Spirit to go to them.
Pray for an unstoppable movement to Christ among them.
MONGOUR
What Are Their Beliefs?
Two types of shamans are active among the Mongour. "White shamans" are used to heal sickness, while "black shamans" bring vengeance on enemies. Another highly regarded religious figure is the kurtain. This is a person who allows himself to be possessed by an evil Daoist spirit.
By the 1920s Catholic missionaries were active in the Mongour region, but no church remains today. Most Mongour can read. Missionary Frank Laubach issued a warning to the church in the 1930s: "Millions in China will soon be reading. Are we going to give them reading matter? Will they be flooded with the message of Christ or with atheism? Will they read love or hate? This is the most stupendous, most arresting, most ominous fact, perhaps on this planet."

MOSUO
57,000 strong and a few believers
Please pray
Religion
Tibetan Buddhism has a strong grip on the Mosuo. Altars of white stones are piled in pyramid formations on every corner and outside most homes. "Because the Mosuo have no written language, shamans had to memorize the equivalent of 71 volumes of text and recited them word for word during funerals, births and other events. From the first utterance to the last, a master's recitation took up to 60 hours."
Christianity
There had never been a known Mosuo believer until fairly recently, when a Mosuo family came to Christ under quite extraordinary, supernatural circumstances. This family shared the gospel with their friends and neighbors, and today there are quite a substantial number of believers among the Mosuo.
MOZHEHEI
What Are Their Beliefs?
The beliefs of the Mozhihei are a mixture of shamanism, Daoism, ancestral worship, and ancient beliefs involving ghosts and evil spirits. Many of the Mozhihei who have moved to urban areas for work or education now consider themselves atheists.
For centuries they have lived and died without any knowledge of the Savior of the world. Few missionaries have ever braved the remote mountains of western Hunan, leaving it one of the most unevangelized areas in China today. The nearest Christian community is probably the 2,000 believers, mainly Han, in Danjiang County in neighboring eastern Sichuan Province.

GE
What Are Their Beliefs?
The Ge practice polytheism and animism. One may find ancestral altars in most of their homes.
China Inland Mission's M. H. Hutton was the only known missionary among the Ge prior to 1949. In a 1935 article he reported, "the best and cheering news of all to us is, one of these new baptized believers is a Keh Deo [Ge] tribesman. It reminds me of the nine years of prayer and work to get an entrance into that tribe and the one soul - now there are six men and I hear their wives and families are interested in the Gospel too." In 1936 Hutton described visiting a Ge Christian service, and in 1937 he reported three Ge families had become Christians. Tragically the Ge Christians ceased to believe once the missionaries were expelled from China. One Ge observer explained, "They believed in the missionaries and not in Jesus." Today there are about 100 Ge Christians in the Chong'an area.
What Are Their Needs?
Without the guidance of Christ, these people will be lost in this life and the life to come. They need someone to go to them as Christ-bearers.
Prayer Points
Pray for the Lord to intervene in their families, calling people to his side.
Pray for loving workers.
Pray for their hearts to be drawn to the Lord of lords.
Pray for a church planting movement to thrive in their communities.
