China News & Prayer (2022.02.15-21)


Identifying Heresy

They all came here from Wenzhou to do business, and they did make some money. They said that they were blessed by believing in Jesus. There are also two sisters who preach the gospel to me. They were once very poor. After believing in Jesus, they got jobs and now have their own house and car. Another sister who was diagnosed with infertility by the hospital said she got pregnant after believing in Jesus. At the beginning, they were all preached by an old sister from a traditional church. Later, they were attracted by Wenzhou people and joined their church since then. They denied when I queried that they were preaching heresies. And grateful to God that I confirmed them as heretics, and Im glad that I had left them.

(Sister Xiaoying)

  • Glorious Lord, you are the Almighty and omniscient Lord. Grateful that Sister Xiaoying was able to break away from heresy and return to orthodox faith. May the Lord bring those in heresy back to the true faith again.


Raising Children

There is parenting issues in our family. My husband hardly allows our child to have snacks. I tried my best to cooperate by not buying my kid any. For those given from classmates or relatives, we didn’t dare to take home. He would throw them to trash bin right away. My aunt once bought my child some jelly candy, and before my child sending the candy to his mouth, my husband rushed over and grabbed away the candy and threw it directly into the bin. The child was scared, curled up behind me and sobbed. My husband often yells when he finds things fall apart. I become powerless in coping with the situation; and I also fail to comfort my child. I feel deeply sad.

(Audience Sister Helpless”)

  • Our merciful Lord, please let Sister Helpless have the strength and courage to communicate honestly with her husband as authoritarian parents would deter the growth of children. The couple thus need to coordinate in parenting to build their home sweet home.

Fake Certificate

On some online platforms, important forged documents can be bought for criminals to use fake certificates. Since late last year, the Ministry of Emergency Management has cooperated with the Ministry of Public Security to deploy anti-counterfeiting certificate operations throughout the country. The latest uncovered cases are the responsibility of the Jiangyin Municipal Public Security Bureau of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. Based on the clues available, a task force was established to investigate in Gansu, Hubei, Hebei, Jiangsu, Henan, Shandong and other six provinces, and 40 criminal suspects were successfully arrested, suspected of illegally using information networks and forgery, alteration, and sale of official documents, certificates, and seals.

(“Workers’ Daily”, January 10, 2022)

  • Pray that people will not lose their conscience for personal gain and fall into the trap of buying and selling false documents. Ask the Lord to bring the grace of repentance to these deceivers to keep them from evil. May them be sincere to others.


Behind Pet Funeral

In recent years, the number of people raising pets in China has been increasing. Being regarded as pet soulmates and family members sometimes, death of these pets leads to the rapid rise of pet funeral-related industries. Business areas include mortuary makeup, farewell ceremonies, individual cremation, customized souvenirs, etc. Although the fledgling industry has a lot of potential for development, there are many problems still needed to deal with. They include a lack of an official supervising department for the licensing and actual operations of these shops, shortage of unified qualification training and certification for pet morticians, and lack of unified reference pricing for services, etc.

(“Legal Daily”, January 6, 2022)

  • Pray that the government can seize the opportunity to support fledgling business for further development. Flesh out comprehensive plans and develop solid supporting facilities to smooth their operations. Moreover, practitioners should be equipped with relevant professional knowledge and under appropriately supervision.


Gospel Broadcasting

  1. Broadcasting Theme: Radio Liangyou’s new theme for the new year is “Grow and Glow” — that listeners may mature spiritually, fruit of the Gospel may flourish in seeking souls, and partners of this broadcast ministry everywhere may be pleasing to the Lord in our lives and services. Our mandate “Christ to the World by Radio” remains unchanged, the goal to maturity remains the same, and in the same way, followers of the Lord Jesus must remain steadfast.
  2. Equipment Update: Our recording studios have been in constant use — since we moved to this location in 2009 — for more than ten years now. The Technical Support team has spared no efforts in preparing the studio update since last year and has put forward a proposal. Please pray that the project will go smoothly under God’s guidance and the program production will not be affected.
