China News & Prayer (2026.07.11-17)


Life Impacting Life

“God is truly wonderful—He led me to the school I’d always dreamed of, and gave me a ministry there. Some classmates have suffered from abuse trauma; some girls go to bars and get into casual sexual relationships. I feel a heavy burden for them. As the counsellor, whenever these issues come up, I start by talking with them. Over time, they learned I’m a Christian, and I shared how my own life had changed. I invited them to church activities to help them see their own worth, and several accepted the Lord Jesus. God used me to walk alongside them and counsel them. In the process, I grew too—the biggest thing I learned is patience.”

(Sister Song)

  • May the Lord grant Sister Song wisdom and love as she supports and counsels her students at school, letting her be a reliable witness for Him. Bring healing to these hurting students, and help them discover their true worth and find confidence in who they are.

Post-Graduation Paths

A report released in Beijing shows that as AI accelerates industrial transformation, and as industrial digitalization and intelligent upgrading continue to advance, market demand remains strong for talents with engineering practice and technological innovation capabilities. The downward shift of industries and rapid technological iteration are causing graduates’ employment structure to shift toward advanced manufacturing and modern services. The old trend where everyone blindly rushed into graduate school or insisted on moving to top-tier cities is giving way to more diverse career choices. In 2025, the proportion of graduates employed in prefecture-level cities and below rose to 63%. On the education front, more students are choosing grad school at top ‘Double First-Class’ universities.

  • May the Lord grant graduates wisdom in their career and educational choices. May He protect them not only in mastering information and skills but also in cultivating strong personal character.

Restoring the First Calling

“I was born into a Christian family and am a fourth-generation believer. From my school days through my working years, I pursued worldly things too much. I truly feel I failed the Lord. I thank God that He did not abandon me; and He made me see my own filthiness. Amid all kinds of struggles and bargaining with God, I was refined for ten years. Finally, I submitted and restored a regular devotional life and church participation. When I visited my husband who was studying at a seminary and saw so many young people being equipped, I was greatly encouraged. I resolutely resigned, entered full-time ministry, and brought the good news of the gospel to children in the mountainous areas.”

(Sister Li)

  • Pray that the Lord will watch over Sister Li’s gospel work in the mountainous areas, granting her deep joy and strength even amid barrenness and challenges.

Fake Certificates Trading

Reporters recently found that many online sellers are openly trading professional skill certificates. Some are supposedly issued by legitimate industry associations, yet anyone can buy them for just a few hundred. Even vocational qualifications that should be verifiable on the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security’s official website are being openly sold, complete with cheating and proxy-testing services that guarantee a passing grade. Lawyers point out that this widespread fraud severely damages the credibility of official certifications and industry groups, undermining the whole professional evaluation framework. Experts recommend implementing strict registration rules, monitoring the entire evaluation process, and conducting random spot checks, with immediate closure and legal action for any group caught breaking the rules.

(“Economic Information Daily”, June 2, 2026)

  • May the authorities intensify efforts to crack down on the selling of fake certificates, severely punish fraudulent agencies, and force online platforms to remove these listings and ban the accounts involved.


Gospel Broadcasting

  1. AI Application: In addition to applying AI in the system and platform structure to streamline processes and improve efficiency, AI applications extend far beyond basic data collection and integration in various stages of program production. Moreover, AI has transformed creative ideation, content design and innovative presentation methods. May God help us serve people with the help of AI.
  2. LTS Extension Courses: With the official launch in June, the “supervision program” for LTS Extension Courses has received numerous inquiries and applications. May God lead us smoothly throughout the entire program, enabling both teachers and students to adapt to it quickly, learn from one another, and foster wonderful interactions.
