This Week's Prayer Guide
August 9 - This week, pray for the needs of the people of Suzhou. Pray for the church to be a Christlike witness to their friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members.
August 10 - In recent years, many foreign and even domestic manufacturers have left Suzhou and its nearby development areas, leaving behind an economic void. Please pray that God will help revive Suzhou’s economy and provide for the economic needs of its people.
August 11 - The departure of these companies and factories have led to a rise in unemployment, particularly among the young people. Many of them are steeped in a sense of hopelessness and feel like giving up. Please pray that the young people in the city can find a hope that is not based on career success, but in Christ.
August 12 - Like many other cities in China, the economic downturn inevitably leads to population loss. Many young people have migrated to other cities or other parts of Suzhou to seek employment, making some less developed neighborhoods feeling empty. Please pray that God will bring revival to these neighborhoods, both economically and spiritually.
August 13 - Population loss is also leading to shepherding challenges. People come and go according to their economic and employment needs, leaving pastors and church leaders feeling destabilized. Please pray that God will provide local churches with a stable core group of people, and that church leaders can know their sheep deeply.
August 14 - One silver lining of the economic downturn is that young professionals are working less and thus have weekends open, and they are able to participate in Sunday worship more regularly. May the Lord refresh the souls of these young professionals through worship and church community, and alleviate their anxiety about their future.
August 15 - One of the local churches in Suzhou recognized the opportunity to reach out to the elderly in the city. Volunteers divide into teams to cut hair, trim nails, visit and pray with the elderly. Please pray that they will encounter more opportunities to share the gospel, and that God will bring many elderly to faith through their work.
8月9日——本周,请为苏州人民的需要祷告。请祷告,愿教会能像基督一样,在他们的朋友、邻居、同事和家人面前作见证。
8月10日——近年来,许多外资甚至中资企业相继撤离苏州及其周边开发区,留下了经济上的空虚。请祷告,求神帮助振兴苏州的经济,并满足当地民众的经济需求。
8月11日——这些公司和工厂的撤离导致失业率上升,尤其是年轻人中的失业率。他们中许多人深陷绝望之中,甚至在家里躺平。请为这座城市的年轻人祷告,愿他们能将未来的希望建立在基督之上,而不在事业当中。
8月12日——与中国许多其他城市一样,经济低迷不可避免地导致人口流失。许多年轻人为了谋生,迁移到了其他城市或苏州的其他地区,使得一些社区显得冷清。请为这些社区祷告,求神在经济和属灵两方面都赐下复兴。
8月13日——会众流失也给牧养工作带来了挑战。人们根据经济和就业需求来来去去,使牧师和教会领袖感到不安。请祷告,求神为当地教会预备一个稳定的核心群体,并让教会领袖能深入地认识他们的羊群。
8月14日——经济低迷带来的一线希望是,年轻职场人士的工作时间减少了,因此周末有空闲能够更规律地参加周日礼拜。愿主通过敬拜和教会团契,使这些年轻职场人士的灵魂得到更新,并缓解他们对未来的焦虑。
8月15日——苏州当地的一间教会意识到向市老年人传福音的机会。志愿者们分成小组,为老年人理发、修剪指甲,探访他们、与他们一同祷告。请为他们祷告,愿他们能遇到更多分享福音的机会,也愿神通过他们的工作带领许多老年人信主。
