Prayer for Mission in China

This week we offer prayer for Tom and Lynnea Morse, our missionaries in China.  It is difficult to imagine the challenges for the Gospel in China, where religious practice in any form is often seen as a direct threat to government power.  As Tom and Lynnea write, and as is evidently a common occurrence, churches are frequently shut down by the government for months at a time.

You can read more about the mission to China here, including the story of two students who were recently baptized.

There are Christian missionaries serving around the world on our behalf in 70 countries. Each week, Global Missions highlights one of these missions and asks the church to pray for its continued vitality in spreading the Gospel.
