Release International, Uganda and China Prayer Shields

Uganda

Pray for Dragule and his family in Uganda. He used to sing the call to prayer at a mosque but he now uses an audio Bible to share the gospel with neighbours.

China
Continue to pray for development worker and pastor John Cao, serving a seven-year sentence. He was detained in 2017 after crossing into China from Myanmar.

China
Pray for members of Bible Reformed Church in Guangzhou, China whom officials accused of ‘spreading evil religion’ during a raid on their Bible study in August. Three Christians, including Pastor Yang Jun, were questioned.

China
In October 2019, Beizhouzhuang Church in China was shut down, then members were told to donate their building to the community as a cultural centre. Pray that this injustice will be put right.

China
Pray for members of dozens of state-approved Three-Self churches in China reported to have been ‘voluntarily’ converted into cultural centres promoting socialist principles, including the Flowing Stream Church in Jiangsu.

China
Please pray for Joshua, the young son of imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi of the Early Rain Covenant Church in China. Joshua is reportedly being taken daily by police car to a Communist Party school for ‘re-education’ – or brainwashing – probably in retaliation for his father standing firm in his faith in jail. Pray too for Joshua’s mother, Jiang Rong, who is under constant surveillance.

China
Pray for churches in Zhejiang and Anhui states in China whose crosses have been removed this year. In Anhui, 250 government-approved churches were stripped of their crosses in the first four months of 2020 alone.

We thank you for Dragule and his family in Uganda. For his testimony. Make him a great witness to your love and faithfulness and truth. Use him amongst family and neighbors and many more in Uganda. Meet his families daily needs. Protect them from evil. In Christ name, Amen.

Lord we pray the Beizhouzhuang Church in China. That they could have their building back to worship you, or a better place...

For Flowing Stream Church in Jiangsu and other churches being forced to become "cultrual centres." Give them ways to keep their worship and be proactive in their communities despite whatever restrictions are imposed on them, your Holy Spirit is not...

For young Joshua, the young son of imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi of the Early Rain Covenant Church in China. Keep him strong in faith despite whatever brainwashing they try to do. Deliver him from these people and set free his dad from prison. Protect his mother and family also...

We pray for churches in Zhejiang and Anhui states in China whose crosses have been removed this year. They can do this injustice, but that doesn't take Christ away. He is still King of Kings and Lord or Lords. Watch over these believers in their trials, and bless their faith in you. Your kingdom come in China. In Christ name, Amen.
