\"\"<\/a>Recently, I have been speaking out against religious persecution in China, calling Christians to pray concerning this issue. In the process, I stumbled upon a wonderful tool from ChinaAid.org<\/a>–the “Pray for China” prayer band.<\/p>\n

I’m ordering one for everyone in the family. It’s a great reminder to pray for our fellow believers who are persecuted for practicing Christianity in the world’s most populated country.<\/p>\n

Please check out the work of China Aid<\/a>, but more importantly, pray for their work and others like them advocating on behalf of our spiritual family in China.<\/p>\n
