China has 37 million more males than females

China has become the most imbalanced country in gender ratio of newborn babies in the world. This period of imbalance is also the longest time in the world. In 2005, the ratio between newborn girls and boys was 100:118.88, far from the average ratio of 100 to 104-107. In Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Anhui and Hunan provinces, the ratio is even higher- 100:130.

Yueyang’s social structure is facing challenges from many different sources, the imbalance of male to female children is just one of them. Please pray for the people of Yueyang as they struggle to deal with these difficult problems. Pray that through these challenges, many will open their hearts to the hope found in the gospel.
