God, rekindle in our hearts the clear light of Your truth. Restore in America the simple understanding of right and wrong, good and evil, as You have defined them. Lead us, God, to think as You think, to speak as You speak, and to act as You would have us act. Break through the confusion of our times and awaken conscience in every soul. Guard us from those who would remake ethics apart from Your wisdom, and shield our minds from deceit. May Your truth stand firm in our homes, our schools, and our public life, that justice and righteousness might flourish again in this land.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 ESV
“The great pillars of all government and of social life [are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.” – Patrick Henry

Operation World Pray for People’s Republic of China : East China: Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Zhejiang, 1 Municipality (Shanghai) Over 400 million people live here. Over 10% are Christian. Christian growth in East China has been amazing for several decades now! Every province but Jiangxi had enormous church growth, and even there the Church grows in some areas. TSPM, Catholics, and especially house churches all flourish. Fujian was one of the first provinces to receive the gospel from Protestant missionaries (19th century). Two of China’s largest house-church networks started in Anhui, where the Church keeps growing despite strong persecution. 20% of Zhejiang is Christian, the highest of any province (likely more born-again believers live here than in any European country!). Nanjing (in Jiangsu) is a key city for Christianity in China. The national seminary for the TSPM and the Amity Press (the biggest printer of Bibles) are both here. Christians from these areas, especially Zhejiang, work to evangelize other parts of China.
