Now’s the time that children head off to Christian summer
camps – but in one province in China all such camps have been
banned.
Officials in Zhejiang have recently told churches to cancel summer camps
and ordered Sunday schools not to meet over the summer
months.
Please pray for churches in Zhejiang whose plans for holiday camps have
had to be shelved.
Authorities in Henan province have also recently begun to insist that
even official Three-Self churches should seek approval for all large-scale
religious activities. International students attending schools and colleges in
Henan are now banned from practising their religious beliefs on
campus.
- Ask God to be with disappointed churches and children whose summer plans have been disrupted. Pray that they will find fellowship and discipleship in other ways.
- Please pray for state-run churches in Henan, Zhejiang and across China as officials appear determined to restrict their freedoms further.
- Pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to move among the churches in China and bring revival even to congregations under the tightest monitoring and control.
