Pray For Hunan
Posted by: | CommentsHunan Province is not the first place you’d think about when you hear about a terrorism attack. Stereotypically, we tend to think of a completely different part of the world for those types of headlines. However, as long as Satan reins in this fallen world, no place is immune from the murderous evil that lurks in the hearts of men.
Yesterday was a prime example as, it appears, someone decided to light a bus on fire in an attempt to kill and injure passengers traveling from the airport into Changsha, Hunan’s capital city.
There are more than 70 million people in Hunan, most with no hope of salvation and no opportunity to hear a clear presentation of the gospel along with an invitation to respond. Yueyang is located in the northeast corner of Hunan Province and consists of about 5.5 million of Hunan’s 70 million strong population.
Please take a moment to pray that the gospel message would spread rapidly and effectively across the entire province, for the sake of the salvation of the Hunanese people and for the glory of God, who desires men to know Him!
(Xinhua, July 22, 2010) At least two people were killed and over ten injured when an airport shuttle bus in Changsha, capital city of central China’s Hunan Province, caught fire Wednesday, police said.
The bus caught fire near an expressway tollgate as it traveled from Changsha’s Huanghua International Airport to the city proper at about 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
The injured were rushed to a local hospital.
It is not known how many people were aboard the bus.
The front of the bus was completely destroyed and many parts of the cabin were burnt. The bus’s windows were shattered and glass shards lay scattered on the road, according to Xinhua reporters at the scene. The pungent smell of gasoline still lingered in the air hours after the blaze.
Police have cordoned off the area and tightened airport security, including by searching passengers boarding shuttle buses.
The cause of the fire is being investigated. But some witnesses told Xinhua they believe it was arson.
July Pray4Yueyang Calendar
Posted by: | Comments
The July Prayer Calendar for the people of Yueyang, China is available for viewing and download. Please take a minute to download this month’s calendar and to print it out and post somewhere where you will be reminded daily to pray for the people of Yueyang!
The month of July in China begins with the celebration of the Anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (中国共产党诞辰).
The Communist Party of China (CPC), also known as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is the founding and the ruling political party of the People’s Republic of China and the world’s largest political party. The Communist Party of China was founded in 1921, and came to rule all of mainland China after defeating its rival the Kuomintang (KMT) in the Chinese Civil War. The party’s 70 million members constitute 5.5% of the total population of mainland China.
By many estimates, there are more Christians in China (approx 100 Million) than there are Communists Party Members. However, the CCP holds a tight grip on every aspect of life for China’s 1.3 Billion citizens. Please pray for all 70 million members of China’s Communist Party. Ask that those who already have a faith in Christ will live out their faith with bold obedience and that those who do not believe will at least have a chance to hear the gospel explained fairly and clearly in a manner in which they can understand.
