Christian parents in China have encountered many challenges trying to provide Biblical training for their children as churches face punishment for allowing children to attend worship services. In fact, several youth Bible study camps have been raided by the authorities.

Several Christian schools were also raided in September and October this year. Students, teachers, staff (including a director and a principal) and a few parents were taken into custody during the raid. Although the students have since been released, the rest are still detained.

Pray that these detained believers will be released soon and will not be subjected to any fines or prison sentences. Pray for wisdom, guidance and protection for Christian educators as they endeavour to honour God by training the young in the ways of the Lord.

Pray that Christian parents will persevere in raising their children in an environment where every conversation in the home revolves around God and His Word (Deut 6:7). And these young believers will learn to love the Lord with all their heart, soul and mind (Matt 22:37).

#Persecuted Church

In many post-Soviet countries, teaching religion to children under the age of 18 is illegal.  However, pastors in several Central Asian countries have been faithfully teaching the gospel to the young in spite of great personal risk. They hold summer camps for all children, both believers and non-believers.

Pray that God will protect these pastors and their families as they do the work of the Lord. Pray that the children who attend the summer camps and their families will be greatly blessed and those who do not know the Lord will receive salvation.

Pray that these pastors and their churches will be blessed with the necessary financial provision, resources, creative ideas and help that they need in order to bless and minister to the community they live in.
