THREE MUSLIM CONVERTS SENT TO PRISON
January 24, 2008
(Note from JD) Our co-worker in China has been away for 2 weeks at children’s camp in NZ. She received the prayer needs below and they are many. You will read about some victories and definite prayer needs. We need to hear from the Lord as to those we need to fund.
Region #6
1. Both sister Sarah and Sister Zhao said there were many orphans in G. province. Sister Zhao saw many poor orphans stayed under the bridge at the train station. She said there were 10 new students from the countryside who would go to study in Brother Ju’s school starting from this March. She asked that whether we were interested in supporting them.
2. Brother Peter M:
2.1 The co-workers’ life standard has improved; the offering situation in the church became better. Before some families were in debt, now the husbands could go out to work.
2.2 The senior’s home debt has been paid. Thank you and those who sent offerings PTL. Pray for more supply for their living expenses. Brother Yuan’s family are getting very tired for serving the old folks, they need rest.
2.3 Brother Yuan’s Mum sister Su: something ( maybe a tumor) grown up on her hand’s bone, she needs to go to the hospital for treatment daily, it will last for 2 months. His wife, has irregular menstruation, she is painful during menstruation, no good result after long period curing.
2.4 In Y. city, the house is too small to hold so many people, they are going to buy a bigger house, it will cost $29,000 they have $5,500 saved now, and they plan to settle this matter in April.
2.5 Please pray for the musical class; the youth class’ leader sister Li health; the brothers’ meeting; Middle and high school’s students’ meeting; Middle and high school and university’s students’ meeting; co-workers’ and youth meetings; Husband and wife marriage seminar.
2.6 Before the Spring Festival the church will use some funds to help the poor, pray for the funds. This is a traditional time for evangelism each year.
2.7 For the coming school new term: pray for the tuition for the co-workers’ children. Continually pray for Sister Tai’s debt.
2.8 City evangelism in five cities. They will send co-workers to start new churches in these cities; they need travel, lodging expenses. May God rise up more local workers.
2.9 Most of the church members are sisters, ask God to rise up more brothers to serve Him. Normally the brothers work for supplying the family.
2.10 They have one day fast monthly for the whole church, pray for church revival.
2.11 There are many Buddhism temples on Beishan Mountain in Jilin city, so there are more spiritual warfare in that city. Pray for the co-worker Brother J. Y. take away his weakness , give him more courage.

(Note from JD) We have uncovered a problem in the SD church leadership that makes them unacceptable to manage the orphanage we have been working to start. The Lord has been good to us to be involved with them. We are hopeful that by exposing this there can be repentance and restoration. There are many good Christians in this church; pray for them.
3. Brother Peter D:
3.1 Three Muslims converted into Christians, in last Dec. they were sentenced to 3, 5, 7 years service in prison. Due to this, it is not safe to contact with church leader.
3.2 Pray for faith strengthening of many new believers from the minor nationalities: They can only meet secretly.
3.3 There were 100 believers went to preach in another county, was found by the police, the police asked “Who led you here?” An old sister(a widow) answered “Me” “Who asked you to take them here?” “God” Then she was detained for 1 week. She has 3 sons: one had infantile paralysis, one’s leg was broken, one was paralyzed wholly. She prayed faithfully, 3 sons all got well completely; they could all go out to work now.
(Note from JD) We visited this church last September and was very impressed with their outreach and training for new Christians. Pray this new persecution will increase their love for Jesus and give them more fire for His work.
4. Brother Zhao:
On 6 Jan. Sunday, because the person who was in charge of opening the church door went back to his home town, so the door was opened late, many people waited outside of the door. The neighbors thought they were doing network marketing, and phoned the police. When Zhao was serving the Lord’s Supper, the police came. They waited till the meeting finished. The police confiscated all the cash, bank book, and the accounting book. 8-9 co-workers stayed behind to face the police with Zhao. They were taken to the police station for interrogation. The co-workers were released before 22:00; Zhao was released before 1:00am.
In the afternoon, the police went to Zhao’s home, messed up his home, took away his books, CDs, bank book(they threatened that they were going to freeze it . Zhao said when he was preaching in an evangelism about 10,000 attended the meeting last year, the police had noticed him.
Zhao said he was going to BJ to consult lawyer for this incident on 22 Jan. The church in the capital city has 80-90 people, 2/3 are university students. To avoid disturbing the neighbors, they were going to rent a house in the office building, which can contain 150 people; it will cost $6,700 per year. Now the church has been closed. They began cell group meeting. Brother Samuel confirmed this matter.
Blessings,
A.
