Prayers for Persecuted Church:

WHAT IS YOUR FAITH WORTH?

Would you give up your faith in Jesus for 70,000 dollars? This was the choice facing Sister Hua* from China. She is a believer from a Buddhist ethnic group, and the local village chief said he would block her from receiving the government subsidies she was entitled to – equivalent to around US$70,000 over the next few years – if she didn’t give up her faith in Jesus.

She has two young children. This money could have made a big difference to her family and her children’s futures – and this was money she was entitled to receive.

Sister Hua has seen the power of God. She refused to give up her faith – so the village chief stopped her from getting the money.

Life isn’t easy for Sister Hua and her family. They are able to survive through working their farm, but the subsidy would make their lives much easier. Despite this, she says, “I will follow Jesus Christ for the rest of my life, because He is the one and only true God.”

PRAYER POINTS

· Pray for the believers who have faced discrimination and attack by their families and communities. Pray that God will soften the hearts of their neighbors. Ask God to protect these believers and provide for their needs.

· Praise God for the work Open Doors is doing to support Christian leaders from Buddhist ethnic groups. Pray that God will raise up many more leaders, and that they will be equipped to disciple other believers.
