Nurturing Marriage
“My husband used to attend church and support my ministry, but business life pulled him away from God. Seeing his life fall into worldliness filled me with anxiety. My husband did experience God’s preservation—if it were not for God’s grace, his life would have ended long ago. Yet whenever we talk about faith, he argues with me, even saying, ‘You go to your heaven, and I go to my hell.’ Church pastor helped me examine my own shortcomings and taught me how to nurture a marriage. I realized I had been very critical of him. Slowly, I began to change. As I became willing to transform, I truly thank God that I saw a change in my husband too. He now supports my church attendance and my tithes.”
(Sister Zhang)
- May the Lord continue to move Sister Zhang’s husband, strengthening his heart to return to the Lord. Grant her gentleness, that the couple may care for one another and serve with one heart.
The Waste Crisis
Recently, waste incineration power-generation facilities have been operating in many cities nationwide. Yet approximately 5% of incinerators are operating only about half the time. Some areas have even faced the awkward situation of “vying for trash.” Meanwhile, rural areas face frequent illegal disposal issues, such as open dumping and sinkhole filling, which pollute the environment. As rural waste disposal shifts from landfilling to incineration, transport costs have skyrocketed. This leads remote areas to continue using landfills or open burning. Experts suggest that rural areas should not simply copy urban models but choose right paths suited to local conditions.

- May the Lord grant wisdom to officials to better coordinate urban and rural waste management. May rural representatives communicate effectively with authorities to reflect practical issues, putting an end to illegal disposal methods.
Staying True to the Mission
Nowruz is the Iranian New Year, celebrated by Muslims in the Middle East and Central Asia, as well as ethnic minorities like the Uyghurs in China. It is a time for spring plowing and beautifying the environment, lasting 3 to 15 days from March 21. Its name stems from ancient Persian for “Day of Spring Rain,” symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. One coworker chose to stay behind after others departed, using the festival to prepare traditional foods for Uyghur friends and arrange visits to bear witness for the Lord. Another minister moved from the coast to the mountains of Yunnan, laboring alone in rural charity work—caring for children, supporting impoverished students, and traveling great distances to visit families.
- Many co-workers press forward despite challenges, so these people may see the true light. We pray for those who hold fast to the mission even under difficult circumstances. Even when most partners have left, they continue faithfully, working quietly and proclaiming the Lord’s love to others.
Gospel Broadcasting
