China News & Prayer (2025.10.01-10)


Sufficient Grace

“My husband runs a business outside while I take care of our two children at home. His business failed two years ago, leaving our family in great predicament. I knew my only support came from the Lord Jesus. I told him that the Lord Jesus would surely lead us through this difficult time. There were times when I felt weak. But God’s Words always gave me strength. Looking back now, I am truly grateful to God since this is the period when my relationship with the Lord has been the closest. My situation has gradually improved. I thank God for keeping our family safe. My husband has returned and found a job. We go to church together on Sundays. God’s grace is manifested amid our family’s weakness.”

(Sister Qin)

  • Thank God for His care for Sister Qin’s family. The Lord has allowed the couple to experience the Lord’s presence in the trough and feel the Lord’s reality. They are also allowed to witness the Lord’s grace.

Pop-up Advertisements

Netizens note that App pop-up ads have countdowns of 18 seconds, but the actual viewing durations are over 30 seconds. Recently a reporter has tested 50 common Apps and found problems existing in the pop-up ads among over half of these Apps. Some pop-up ads automatically redirect to other Apps upon opening. Some of them disguise themselves as system notifications while others even have pop up ads on top of existing ads. Although the Advertising Law stipulates “one-click closure,” there is a lack of detailed regulations or unified standards governing the accuracy and authenticity of the actual advertisement playback duration.

  • Pray that the government will improve existing regulations to further address the loopholes, establish a joint regulatory mechanism and regularly carry out special disciplinary and punishing actions. Also pray that a channel of lodging complaints can be established to encourage netizens to actively lodge their complaints.

Accomplishing a Mission

“When I first start my job, I feel little lost. I am not sure about the purpose of my job. God has been guiding me understand that the purpose of life is glorifying the Lord. Workplace is truly a great opportunity for us to put love into practice. Although their different values will lead to some challenges, it is a wonderful place to bear witness to Christ. Once I have understood this, I dedicate myself even more to my work. My love for Jesus has helped me get along with my colleagues in a better way. I firmly believe this is God’s calling. The colleagues I can interact are mostly young people. I can share the gospel with them, hoping that their lives will be transformed by faith. I am also striving to do this.”

(Brother Wu)

  • Brother Wu is determined to be a good witness in his workplace. Pray that he can influence more people through his actions and love so that they will return to the Lord.

Fraudulent Partners

“Are there any partners who can join together to attend a concert?” Nowadays, “socializing with partners” has become popular among young people. Some businessmen with ulterior motives have targeted on them. Some reading groups initially have a positive atmosphere. But later the group leaders begin to recommend “books of limited editions,” and this become an accurate tactics of marketing. There are also groups of “travel partners” with leaders absconding after the collection of hotel charges from the netizens. Experts believe that online platforms should shoulder responsibilities for overseeing the situation and promptly issuing risk warnings. They should also screen and remove the content suspected of fraud.

(“Beijing Evening News”, September 5, 2025)

  • Pray that God will grant young people wisdom to distinguish between partners and cheaters. It is hoped that relevant departments will strengthen their monitoring of online platforms, urging them to remove fraudulent messages and block the accounts.


Gospel Broadcasting

  1. Theology Learning: The four programs of Liangyou Theological Seminary (Navigation & Lay Training I, II & III) are designed according to varying levels and learning goals to provide believers with well-rounded training. We pray that these courses will continue to be renewed and developed in step with the times, and that believers will remain steadfast in completing each stage of their equipping.
  2. Staff Adaptation: In recent months, several colleagues have either joined the ministry or taken on new roles. Pray that the Lord will help them quickly adapt, integrate into the team, and make full use of their gifts in response to His calling. Please also remember the ongoing need for additional production staff, asking God to provide suitable workers for the gospel broadcasting ministry.
