"For where two or three gather in My name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:20

Today, we invite you, your family and your church family to fast and pray with us.

We know our God cares for children in crisis. We know He sees the pain of instability in biological families and the sacrifices foster families make to surround children with love.

🙏 Will you fast and pray with us for Him to heal broken families, strengthen tired parents and comfort children struggling to find a new normal?

Chinese authorities arrested six Christians in Guizhou Province after accusing them of organizing activities for minors through Sunday school classes, family worship gatherings, and Christian teaching.

According to reports, the believers were charged with “organizing minors to disrupt public order,” a charge critics say is being applied to peaceful religious activities rather than acts involving violence or public unrest.

Religious freedom advocates warn the arrests are part of a broader crackdown on Christianity in China, where officials have increasingly restricted children’s participation in religious education and closely monitored unregistered churches.

The case has drawn international attention because the gatherings reportedly involved families worshipping together and teaching children about the Christian faith.

At the same time, reports indicate Chinese authorities continue to push the government’s “Sinicization” campaign, which seeks to align religious organizations more closely with Communist Party ideology and state-approved values.

Despite growing persecution, many Christians in China continue meeting, worshipping, and sharing the Gospel.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:10, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Please pray for believers in China, for protection over pastors and families, and for courage for those who continue following Christ despite persecution.
