A Chinese Christian leader recently told his congregation:

“Of course the government is watching you, and even listening to you in your own home! So make sure that what they are seeing is a true disciple of Christ!”

This is the attitude to take. We are not backing down. We are fully trusting in God’s sovereignty over what they do or don’t do to us. We are in the hands of the risen Jesus and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Be bold.

Amazing testimonies from inside of China!
“We are seeing so many people come to Christ. I have been calling the church leaders and begging them for more workers."

Dear prayer warriors, please continue to pray for my daughter's healing and for wisdom and God's direction for my husband and I as we seek where to get the care that will be best for her. We've been praying for a healing miracle and will plan to continue to do so. God is more than able. We need Him desperately.

Dear DingDash family, please keep us in your prayers today. I am here in the US writing Meriam Ibrahim's story. Not an easy story. Yesterday was filled with emotion and tears as Meriam talked about being born in a refugee camp, her father brutally murdering her aunt for an honor killing, her mother being tied up for two days and raped, and her running away and hiding to escape circumcision - only to be forcefully dragged back to the village and the Muslim elders publicly witnessing her genital mutilation - and this was all before she was even 7 years old!
We can use all the prayers we can get for this project.

Father, You’ve put on my heart over this last week to intercede for every member of this group, as well as those needs which You have placed in their heart. I ask You, Father, to keep Your wall built around each person; that no areas of the wall will become weakened by fatigue, discouragement, anxiety, or even satanic attack. May this group be strong in the Lord, trusting You in all things and at all times. May we go about the Father’s business with expectation of joy in what doors You will open for us. May we join together in love for You, Abba, and in love for each other. May You anoint each person within this group with a burning desire to share the gospel, to heal the sick, to make disciples! May we be obedient to every command You instruct us to do. May we not grow weary in doing good and allow Your joy to be our strength. Father, it is a privilege to link arms with my fellow brothers and sisters on this site. Bless each one. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

My granddaughter got discharged from the hospital!! Jesus blessed us with a tiny bundle of joy.

These laws are becoming increasingly common in the west - and they are a direct threat to missions.

One of our BTJ partners working in a closed country was ministering yesterday in a rural village. The police were called and the local authorities are now looking for him.
Please keep him and his family in your prayers today 🙏🏼

A BIG FAT THANK YOU to all of you guys that have been praying for our work in China. We've had some major miracles happen and KNOW that it's the direct result of your prayers!

The Chinese vision to send out 100,000 missionaries from China into the unreached nations between China and Jerusalem was not well accepted by many western Christian observers in the early 2000s.
From their armchair perches of plush Western headquarters, “mission experts” dismantled the Chinese notion.
Yet God used His Church in China to prove all of the mission experts wrong.
China went from having no known missionaries in the area between China and Jerusalem to having the most missionaries in less than two decades.
So now, what can God do through YOU and your "foolish", "crazy" vision??

Why watchman née was arrested part a:

“On this day in 1952, Watchmen Nee was arrested and charged as a lawless capitalist. The communist media informed the world of the “crimes of Watchmen Nee,” citing many hundreds of alleged crimes and vices.

Among his crimes: He envisioned evangelizing all of China in the 1930s. He relentlessly encouraged Shanghai Christians to share their faith. His words were hard to ignore: ‘Because you are not witnessing, many have not heard the Gospel. They will be eternally separated from God. What a consequence of our apathy! This is my challenge to you. Witness to at least one person a day. Witness to whomever you meet. It is time for us to put feet to our faith.’ “

It may feel as though life has slowed down during all the lockdowns and restrictions the past year, but BTJ missionaries are still faithfully taking the Gospel into the most unreached nations in the world.
Our prayers are a vital part of their work. Would you take time to pray for them today?

The early part of the day has been stressful, due to persistent headaches in the last three weeks I had a consultation at my opticians who has now referred me to my Neurological Consultant, the possibility being that my residual brain tumour may have grown. So now I am sitting waiting on a phone call which may not happen anytime soon from my consultant. In this I am not afraid, my Father God is completely in control. I would appreciate prayer regarding this.

Thank you for praying for this precious miracle! She weight 5lbs 2oz. My daughter Lisa is still in surgery and I believe she is way better than the doctors thought she'd be. I will update when I hear more. Thank you for praying!!
