This Week's Prayer Guide
April 6 - This week, pray for the needs of the people of Shenzhen. Pray for the church to be a Christlike witness to their friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members.
April 7 - A pastor in Shenzhen says, “A significant challenge of ministering here is that it's a young city with a highly mobile population. This high mobility makes pastoral care difficult, as young people often change cities or locations when they change jobs.” Pray for for wisdom in pastoral care among such a young and highly mobile population.
April 8 - Conversely, a pastor in Shenzhen shares a positive aspect of ministering to such a young city: “There's less pressure from traditional family influences. If some brothers and sisters, or some friends, accept the gospel, there's less resistance from their families. This is a positive aspect of this city.” Praise God for the lesser family pressure on young people, and pray that the Holy Spirit would use this opportunity to draw more young people to Christ.
April 9 - A pastor in Shenzhen says, “We are now focusing on middle-aged people who have come to faith but whose parents haven't, especially those whose parents live in their hometowns. The elderly are also very lonely now, and the generation gap between them and young people is widening, resulting in many empty nesters. So, we are working on reaching out to these parents who haven't yet believed.” Pray for this church as they reach out to the elderly population around them.
April 10 - “This area is full of various religions,” says one Shenzhen pastor. “Islam, Tibetan Buddhism, those practicing witchcraft, health cults, Confucianism, Buddhism, and even those involved in dark arts. It's a very complex place. So, while the political environment seems relatively relaxed, the spiritual atmosphere is actually quite pressured. But God must be glorified here.” Pray for the Lord to draw people to himself from among these different religions.
April 11 - “Even now,” says a pastor in China, “after the pandemic, Shenzhen's economy is declining, leading to increased unemployment and salary reductions for our brothers and sisters. This has put greater pressure on them, especially financially.” Pray for those in Shenzhen who are facing difficulty because of the strained economy.
April 12 - Another pastor in Shenzhen speaks about the economy: “Though China's overall economy is declining, Shenzhen has still been ranked third in China in recent years in terms of GDP. And I've noticed that in the past two or three years, some institution conducted a survey on the attractiveness of post-95 talent, and Shenzhen seems to be ranked first. This means that young people are constantly coming to this city. So, I think Shenzhen is still a large harvest field. The challenge is how we can effectively spread the gospel.” Pray for more workers to be sent into this harvest field.
4月6日——本周，请为深圳人民的需求祈祷。也为教会里的弟兄姐妹祷告，愿他们成为朋友、邻居、同事和家人的基督式榜样。
4月7日——深圳的一位牧师说：“在这里传教的一大挑战是，这是一个年轻的城市，人口流动性很强。这种高流动性给牧养工作带来了困难，因为年轻人经常换工作，随之更换城市或地点。”请为牧养这样一个年轻且流动性强的群体祈祷，求主赐予智慧。
4月8日——相反，深圳的一位牧师分享他在这座年轻城市牧养时所感受到良好的一面：“来自传统家庭的影响较小。如果一些兄弟姐妹或朋友接受了福音，他们的家人不会给他们太多阻力。这是这座城市的积极一面。” 为年轻人家庭阻力较小而赞美上帝，并祈求圣灵利用这个机会吸引更多年轻人归向基督。
4月9日——深圳的一位牧师说：“我们现在关注的是那些已经信主但父母尚未信主的中年人，特别是那些父母住在老家的中年人。老年人现在也非常孤独，他们与年轻人之间的代沟正在扩大，导致许多空巢老人。因此，我们正在努力向这些尚未信主的父母传福音。” 为这个教会祷告，他们正在向周围的老年人伸出援手。
4月10日——一位深圳牧师说：“这个地区有各种宗教。伊斯兰教、藏传佛教、巫术、崇拜健康、儒教、佛教，甚至还有黑魔法。这是一个非常复杂的地方。因此，虽然政治环境相对宽松，但属灵氛围实际上压力很大。但上帝在这里必须得到荣耀。” 求主从这些不同的宗教中吸引人们归向他。
4月11日——一位牧师说：“即使现在疫情过后，深圳的经济正在衰退，导致我们的兄弟姐妹失业人数增加，工资减少。这给他们带来了更大的压力，尤其是经济上的压力。” 为那些因经济紧张而面临困境的深圳人祷告。
4月12日——深圳的另一位牧师谈到经济问题说：“虽然中国的整体经济正在下滑，但深圳的GDP近年来仍在中国排名第三。 我注意到，在过去两三年里，一些机构对95后人才的吸引力进行了调查，深圳似乎排名第一。这意味着年轻人不断涌入这座城市。所以，我认为深圳仍然是一片广阔的禾场。我们面临的挑战是如何有效地传播福音。” 请为有更多工人被派往这片禾场祷告。
