This Week's Prayer Guide July 26 - For the last week of July, we are praying for the Chinese diaspora in South Korea. Like other nations, the Chinese diaspora came to South Korea seeking an escape from the competitive lifestyle in China. Please pray for their transition as many continue to adjust to life in South Korea. July 27 - Many Chinese in South Korea are separated from their immediate families, which is causing a lot of marriage and parenting problems. To complicate matters, some lack legal documentations to move their family members over. Please pray that the local churches in Korea can minister to the relational needs of these immigrants. July 28 - Although they are all Chinese, the diaspora community in Korea came from different regions and have different cultural preferences. This can lead to mutual suspicion, disagreements, even open conflicts, both inside and outside the church. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will grant a spirit of unity to the Chinese believers in the church. July 29 - Historically, most Chinese believers worshiped in Chinese congregations under a larger Korean church. In recent years, many Chinese pastors recognize the need to become independent and plant their own churches, but they need resources and leaders who share this independent mindset. Pray that God will provide them with believers who are willing to join them in this step of faith. July 30 - As Chinese pastors begin to plant more churches in Korea, please pray that Korean pastors and Korean churches will be generous with their resources, so that they can partner with Chinese pastors to reach the Chinese diaspora community among them. July 31 - Because of the large number of Chinese university students in Korea, campus ministry and student outreach can be a very effective way to lead people to Christ. Please pray that many of these students can grow in their faith and become future church leaders and pastors. August 1 - Please pray for the Chinese pastors and their families in Korea, who in addition to their church work, consistently face economic challenges, visa problems, and language barriers. Pray that God will give them strength and sustenance, and refresh their hearts and souls as they continue to labor in a foreign land. 7月26日——在7月的最后一周，我们将为在韩国的华人祈祷。与其他国家一样，这些华人为了逃离中国竞争激烈的生活方式而来到韩国。请为他们的适应过程祈祷，因为许多人仍在努力适应在韩国的生活。 7月27日——许多在韩国的华人与家人分离，导致了许多婚姻和育儿问题。更复杂的是，有些人缺乏身份，没办法接家人来韩国。请为韩国当地教会能满足这些移民在人际关系方面的需求祷告。 7月28日——尽管他们都是中国人，但旅居韩国的华人自不同地区，有不同的文化偏好。这导致彼此猜疑、意见分歧，甚至在教会内外引发公开冲突。请为教会中的中国信徒祷告，求圣灵赐予他们合一的灵。 7月29日——过去几十年，大多数中国信徒都在大型韩国教会的中文部里敬拜。近年来，许多中国牧师认识到出来独立植堂的必要，但他们需要资源和拥有这种独立思维的同工。请祷告，求神为他们预备愿意与他们一同踏上这段信心之旅的信徒。 7月30日——随着华人牧师开始逐渐在韩国植堂，请为韩国牧师和韩国教会能慷慨地分享资源祷告，使他们能够与中国牧师携手合作，向当地的华人群体传福音。 7月31日——由于在韩中国大学生人数众多，学生事工可以成为引导人们归向基督的一种非常有效的方式。请为这些学生祷告，愿他们中的许多人能在信仰上不断成长，并成为未来的教会领袖和牧师。 8月1日——请为在韩国的中国牧师及其家人祷告，他们除了要从事教会工作外，还不断面临经济困难、签证问题和语言障碍。求神赐予他们力量和供应，并在他们继续在异国事奉时，使他们的心和灵魂得着更新。 Join us on Zoom this Thursday from 10:30am-11:00am EST for our weekly prayer call as we pray for Chinese churches in the diaspora.
