Lord, we come before You asking that the airwaves remain open and free, that Your Gospel may be proclaimed in its fullness to every heart that hungers for truth. Help us to guard Your message from dilution or distortion. When voices rise to silence or censor the good news of Christ, grant Your people courage, wisdom, and grace to speak with clarity and love. Give us access to the marketplace of ideas without fear of intrusion or restraint, that Your Word might continue to bring light into darkness and hope into every place it is heard.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice. Proverbs 31:8-9 (NLT)
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29 (ESV)
“Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, … these principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.” – President Thomas Jefferson First Inaugural Address March 4 1801
Hold Fast, Spread the Word and God Save the Republic.
Operation World Pray for People’s Republic of China : Northeast China: Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning provinces. Over 120 million people. Around 8% of them are Christian. This region (near North Korea and Russia) was the homeland of the Manchu people (Manchuria), who conquered and ruled all of China from 1644-1911. Heilongjiang Province has good farm land. Jilin Province borders North Korea. Liaoning Province attracts economic migrants for industry, agriculture, and the busy port (Dalian). The Church here grew rapidly, with both locals and foreigners (Korean) active in ministry and church planting. Pray for this region where the drama and danger of North Korean escapees unfolds, that God would draw many North Koreans, ethnically Korean Chinese, and Manchu and Han Chinese to Himself.
