News from China Prayer Letter

China Prayer 14 Nov 06

Pray for the thousands of new converts turning to Christ every day (in both house-churches and TSPM churches). Pray they will be spiritually fed and grow in their faith.

Famous physicist (and atheist) Stephen Hawking visited China recently and sparked great debate on the origin of the universe. FEBC broadcast 'The Source of Life- There is a God' in July. Pray many seekers will see there is no contradiction between true science and the Bible and will find Christ - the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Henan province has at least 60 local officially-registered Protestant Christian training centres at municipal or county level in addition to the provincial seminary at Zhengzhou according to information received in September. This means upwards of 2000 Henan believers are receiving basic Bible training. Pray for them and their teachers.

'I never knew God personally. One day I accidentally got onto a website and started communicating with believers. Their love attracted me and made me a true Christian. I seldom go to church, but many people there warn me of the dangers of the cults on the Internet.' (Miss Sun in Jiangsu to FEBC) Pray the Internet will be used as a tool for evangelism, but not as a substitute for true Christian fellowship.

Note--FEBC refers to Far Eastern Broadcasting Corporation, a Christian broadcasting group based in Hong Kong with daily broadcasts into Mainland China. Milton
