Won't you join me in praying for this persecuted Christian family?

Believers Chang Yuchun and Li Chenhui were sentenced to seven years in prison in August 2021. Their 'crime?' 
 
Printing and selling Christian books for households across mainland China and to help meet the needs of churches. Communist officials who raided the printing company took more than 210,000 copies of Christian books! 

Chang & Li's son Chang Shengyi issued a prayer request letter calling for bold intercession for his parents. 
 
They've faced bullying from other prisoners and poor health conditions.

As you can imagine it's a horribly tough situation because Chang and Li have many more years behind bars due to their Christian faith. 

This Friday, join with others across the Body of Christ in prayer for these persecuted believers. Chang Shengyi wrote six prayer points for global Christians to intercede for. 

1. Pray that the faith of Chang Yuchun and Li Chenhui will be strengthened. They may feel weak, but ask God to strengthen their faith, give them hope, love, and endurance.

2. Pray for their physical condition. Ask God to heal Chang Yuchun's illnesses, including diabetes and lumbar spondylosis. Pray that the Lord will watch over him through this cold winter.

3. Pray for mercy on Li Chenhui's physical weakness, to relieve her from excessive labor and provide her with enough strength to work.

4. They are both troubled by the bullying of "prison bullies." Pray that God will give them wisdom and compassion to face these difficulties.

5. Pray for younger sister Chang Shenglin and younger brother Chang Shengyang to leave public schools soon. Pray that God will protect them from being brainwashed, help them seek truth, and persevere in believing in Jesus.

6. The oldest younger brother Chang Shengxin will soon graduate from high school. He has not attended public school and has been home-schooled. He hopes to attend a Christian college. Pray that God will open a way for him.
 
As you know well, there's no prison wall or guard that can block the supernatural power of prayer! Thank you for spiritually encouraging Chang and Li as they sit unjustly behind bars. 

Serving the persecuted with you
