Pray for Children Barred from Attending Church

[277] prayers in [21] nations have been posted for Christian Chinese youth.

Government officials in China’s Zhejiang province are currently monitoring churches to ensure that children aren’t attending. In addition, more than 100 area churches received verbal warnings against teenagers attending church services, Sunday school or other church-related activities. Many Christians are standing up for the religious freedom of Chinese youth, but they remain concerned about the future. Pray that Christian children and teens will find new ways to grow in their faith and experience fellowship. Pray that their parents will remain strong in the faith, and pray for the authorities who try to prevent children from learning about Jesus.
