China News & Prayer (2025.07.17-23)


Life Renewal

“I am over 70 and have many kinds of illness. The pain is really unbearable. I am not afraid of death because I know that the Heavenly Father’s place is very good. I have believed in the Lord for so many years, but my faith is weak. I have also made arrangements for my funeral. However, the Lord has not done things as what we thought. He has healed my body. Now I can do housework which include tidying, washing clothes and cooking. God has kept my life to glorify Him. My husband has also believed in the Lord. I also share my testimony with my relatives and neighbors, hoping that they will know this true and living God.”

(Sister Dong)

  • God’s deeds are wonderful and sometimes people cannot see them clearly. But God’s will allows Sister Dong’s life renew and grow up. She knows that she is alive in this world to glorify God. It is hoped that the sister’s life will influence more people to know God.

Excessive Packaging

In recent years, the problem of excessive packaging of goods has become increasingly serious. As some businessmen pursue the so-called “high-end” and “luxurious” market positioning, layers of packaging boxes and precious metal decorations have appeared. These result in the problems of environmental pollution. The China Consumers Association and other relevant organizations have put forward some initiatives to regulate the design of product packaging: reduce the number of packaging layers, encourage the concepts of green development; and encourage consumers to practice simplicity in their daily lives; and take priority over the choice of the products with environmental packaging materials.

  • May God protect our environment, and educate people about environmental awareness. Pray that packaging will adhere to the concepts of green development, reduce the design complexity, and enhance the intrinsic values of products.

Light Up The Darkness

“My relationship with the Lord has been lukewarm in the past few years after my belief in the Lord. Sometimes I hate myself as I do not thirst for God’s words. Since I have listened to your programs, my situation has improved a lot. I have finally joined church gatherings where I really feel the warmth as in a family. Moreover, there is an event which has been lingering in my heart. When I was running my business in the past, I gave a customer RMB 8,000 less because of my greed. Now I am feeling more and more uneasy. I think I must pay back the money and ask the Lord to forgive me. I cannot let the Lord down.”

(Brother Ge)

  • Brother Ge’s spiritual life has grown. He has also taken his courage to admit his past mistake. This is the Lord’s work deep in his heart, making him remember his past sins, and confess and repent before the Lord. May the Lord’s name be glorified.

“Three-nil” Cosmetics

Recently, the People’s Court of Changping District, Beijing, has concluded a case of manufacturing and selling counterfeit cosmetics with poor quality. Levels of mold, bacteria and heavy metals have exceeded the standards in the “three-nil” cosmetics involved in the case. There are many disguise tactics for “three-nil” cosmetics sold online, such as overseas purchasing, no Chinese labels, ancient formula, and mass production under the name of “custom-made for personal use”. Merchants should check the suppliers’ licenses and product certificates of conformity. If certificates of conformity cannot be provided, they should not purchase them or they should purchase after the inspection for conformity has been carried out.

(“Legal Daily”, Jun 11, 2025)

  • Pray that businessmen will purchase products in a prudent way and that they should not sell products of unknown origins. Also pray that relevant departments will intensify their inspection so as to reduce citizens’ chances of buying “three-nil” products.


Gospel Broadcasting

  1. Connecting with Listeners: Since adopting the “incarnational radio” strategy in 2008, connecting with listeners has become the guiding principle for every program. Through various formats, listeners’ voices are now an indispensable part of our shows. Our team values this interaction deeply. Please pray for God’s grace that we may continue this close journey with our listeners.
  2. Staff Recruitment: Several departments need to hire new staff. Pray for a smooth process and that the Lord leads gifted brothers and sisters to join. Additionally, with the current staff shortage, may existing staff support each other and adjust flexibly to ensure all ministries are completed on time.
