This Week's Prayer Guide
April 13 - This week, pray for the needs of churches in Shenzhen. Pray for churches in Shenzhen to be transformed by the gospel of Christ.
April 14 - A pastor in Shenzhen says, “Evangelism has become increasingly difficult in these five years, and the pressure and suppression from above are becoming more apparent.” Another pastor agrees: “Our church isn't very large, only a few dozen people. Sending people out to evangelize might not be feasible right now. What we do is go out to share the gospel every last Sunday afternoon of the month. The results haven't been great these past few years.” Pray for the Holy Spirit to bless evangelism efforts even in the midst of pressure and suppression.
April 15 - A Shenzhen pastor says, “My recent feeling is that a consumerist mentality is prevalent in the church. The church is like a religious free market, with believers moving between churches, consuming pastors, and some pastors are happy to be consumed.” Pray for God to give believers in Shenzhen deep roots and a broader vision to see their cities transformed in the gospel.
April 16 - “The reason ministry is becoming increasingly difficult,” says one Shenzhen pastor, “is the readily available information and the internet on people. Brothers and sisters are receiving very complex information, which greatly affects their spiritual lives. When I first came to faith, brothers and sisters were very pure and eager for the Bible, eager for spiritual materials. Now, it's clear that they don't have as big of an appetite as before.” Pray for believers in Shenzhen to hunger and thirst for Christ.
April 17 - A pastor in Shenzhen shares, “It's difficult to cultivate future leaders for the church, such as assistants and small group leaders, and to train successors, especially pastors. Although some are studying, the time hasn't come yet. The rise of new pastors is relatively slow.” Pray that God will raise up faithful shepherds to serve and teach his people.
April 18 - Another pastor in Shenzhen shares, “Thanks to God's grace, our church has sent some brothers and sisters to another city for theological studies. So, there is a pursuit of theology. Initially, more than fifteen people went to study, so there is a desire for it.” Praise God for these brothers and sisters pursuing theological education, and pray for them in their studies.
April 19 - A pastor in Shenzhen says, “Communication between churches has decreased. Before the pandemic, five years ago, our church had pastors from other churches preach once a month. This stopped after the pandemic.” Pray for more fellowship between churches in Shenzhen.
4月13日——本周，请为深圳教会的需要祷告。祈求深圳的教会能够被基督的福音而改变。
4月14日——深圳的一位牧师说：“这五年里传福音越来越困难，来自上层的压力和压制越来越明显。” 另一位牧师表示赞同：“我们的教会规模不大，只有几十个人。现在派出去传福音可能不太可行。我们每个月最后一个星期日下午都会出去分享福音。过去几年的效果并不理想。” 愿圣灵在压力和压制下仍能保佑传福音的努力。
4月15日——一位深圳牧师说：“我最近觉得消费主义在教会中盛行。教会就像一个宗教自由市场，信徒们穿梭于各个教会之间，消耗牧师，而有些牧师乐于被消耗。” 求神赐予深圳的信徒深厚的根基和更广阔的视野，让他们看到自己的城市因福音而改变。
4月16日——一位深圳牧师说：“事工变得越来越困难，原因是人们可以轻易获得信息，互联网上也有大量关于人的信息。弟兄姐妹们接收的信息非常复杂，这极大地影响了他们的属灵生活。我刚信主时，弟兄姐妹们非常纯洁，渴望得到圣经，渴望得到属灵材料。现在，很明显他们不像以前那样有强烈的求知欲了。” 为深圳的信徒祷告，让他们渴慕基督。
4月17日——深圳的一位牧师分享道：“教会培养未来的领袖（如助手和小组长）和培训接班人（尤其是牧师）非常困难。虽然有些人正在学习，但时机尚未成熟。新牧师的崛起相对缓慢。” 求神兴起忠心的牧者来服侍和教导祂的子民。
4月18日——深圳的另一位牧师分享道：“感谢神的恩典，我们的教会已经派一些弟兄姐妹去另一个城市学习神学。所以，神学是有追求的。最初有超过15个人去学习，所以是有渴望的。” 为这些追求神学培训的弟兄姐妹赞美神，并为他们的学习祷告。
4月19日——深圳的一位牧师说：“教会之间的交流减少了。五年前，疫情爆发前，我们教会每月都会邀请其他教会的牧师来布道一次。疫情爆发后，这种交流就停止了。” 为深圳教会之间更多的团契活动祷告。
