However, no one in this world can force me to renounce my faith.\u2019 Find out more about China at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/our_work_country_china.htm\/\" target=\"_blank\">csw.org.uk\/china<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Sunday 7 June<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank God for the courage of Pastor Wang Yi, sentenced to nine years following a trial on Boxing Day 2019. Lift up him and his family today, praying that they\u2019d know God\u2019s presence and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Monday 8 June<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of Pastor Wang Yi\u2019s Early Rain Church, and Living Stone Church in Guizhou, are under severe pressure, including ongoing harassment from police. Thank God for their faith and ask that they\u2019ll be able to continue to meet together in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Tuesday 9 June<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have heard of several cases of parents who have been told they cannot take their children to church. Pray today that this will be reversed, so that children everywhere may attend church with their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Wednesday<\/b> <b>10 June<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over one million Uyghur people have been placed into \u2018re-education camps\u2019 in China without charge or trial, targeted because of their ethnicity and religion (they are predominantly Muslim). Pray that this huge injustice would end and these people would be set free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Thursday 11 June<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018I am happy for you, you are safe there\u2026 Please stop calling me.\u2019 These are the words of one Uyghur mother to her daughter living in Australia. She hasn\u2019t heard from her family since that day. Pray for peace for all those living overseas with family in Xinjiang, and that they would receive word from their loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Friday 12 June<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our new China campaign is initially focusing on the UK Parliament. Please pray that so many people contact their MP, and request and share campaign cards, that it becomes a critical mass that MPs can\u2019t ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Saturday 13 June<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God of all comfort, we thank you for the extraordinary bravery of pastors, human rights defenders, and many more in China. We pray for all those suffering this stranglehold on religious groups, that they would see justice and you would release them from oppression. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248)\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2020-06-06-prayer.pdf\">Descargue una copia imprimible del Diario de Oraci\u00f3n de esta semana.<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us in praying for China this week.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8189,"template":"","regions":[131,128],"class_list":["post-26495","prayer","type-prayer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","regions-china","regions-east-asia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prayer\/26495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prayer"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prayer"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prayer\/26495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41165,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prayer\/26495\/revisions\/41165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"regions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/regions?post=26495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
