Preaching In Muslim Area
“Some time ago, our group of six people had a short-term missionary trip. We saw many mosques, but almost no churches in this trip. We were all anxious about this place. But Christians were still found in big cities. Listening to their testimonies, my heart was filled with gratitude. One of them turned to the Lord to receive salvation amid hardship and persecution 30 years ago because he had listened to the gospel broadcasting. In a county, a high-level “imam” (a respectful title for a Muslim teacher) was more open and allowed us to preach the gospel of Jesus. We paid tribute to the missionaries of the China Inland Mission in a museum.”
(Brother Tian)
- God led Brother Tian and his team to a Muslim area to understand the true religious situation there. May God continue to send gospel messengers to the area so that the gospel can be widely spread there. It is believed that God will not abandon that area.
Upsurge of License Applications
In recent years, the “low-altitude economy” has developed and the demand for drone operators has become more significant. This has led to a continuous increase in drone operator license applications. Some training institutions offer related training courses but the quality varies. Some institutions reduce training hours in their pursuit of profits. They let applicants take an exam just for the sake of taking an exam. Now a large number of newcomers obtain their licenses, but they lack practical experiences and their skills are far below the job requirements. Experts suggest that one should not only think about taking the exam to get a drone operator license and that you should first learn to acquire enough professional knowledge.

- Pray that the departments concerned will review the relevant exam model for the license applications so that the assessments will be closer to the practical applications. Also pray that they can set up guidelines for the training courses and those institutions.
Giving Birth Without Pain
“My daughter-in-law gave birth to her second child last year. She was afraid of pain, but she didn’t want to have a caesarean. I said that I would pray for her with my grandson. But my daughter-in-law said indifferently, ‘Leave it to fate.’ I still prayed for her with my grandson. After three days, she gave birth to the baby smoothly without any pain. My grandson happily told his mother that this was God’s grace. My daughter-in-law thanked God. Her natal family members also witnessed this wonderful grace in person. Together they gave glory to God. Please ask God to choose my daughter-in-law and her natal family.”
(Sister Guo)
- Thank God for blessing Sister Guo’s family. God’s mercy and protection have allowed her daughter-in-law to experience God. May the seeds of the gospel take root so that God will more bless the whole family.
Order Grabbing Tools
The plug-in software for order grabbing has been used as a tool to obtain competitive advantages improperly with technical tricks. It has spread to the fields such as online car-hailing, taking out and delivery of food, etc. Reporter has noticed that the plug-in software can set the order amount, distance, direct route grabbing, methods of order grabbing, speed of refreshing, etc. It can also remotely guide the installation and adjustment after the payment. However, the software requires superuser’s rights to revise the underlying files and setting of the system. This means that the software can gain access to all the data in the phones. Relevant parties have reminded that many “order grabbing tools” are fake and fraudulent tools used to deceive drivers of money. These tools are suspected of violating the laws.

Pray that the relevant authorities can strengthen the crackdown on criminal gangs which write the plug-in software. Also pray that booking platforms should speed up the action to curb the loopholes and to actively ban the users who use the plug-in software.
