Dear Pastors and Co-workers,
Call to Citywide Praying and Fasting for Healing of Hong Kong
Shalom! Does Hong Kong have peace? The recent deterioration in the situation is worrying, sad, and heart-breaking! Hong Kong is in its darkest period. Will it get worse? No matter how dark the situation is, our God is the God of Hope (Romans 15:13). In Him there is light. The church of Jesus Christ shall arise and shine (Isaiah 60:1-2)!
Anyone who loves Hong Kong longs to stop the bleeding. Different members and churches receive different callings to take specific actions for healing Hong Kong and we should bless them. The current crisis has not yet passed. Bigger disasters seem possible. However, greater blessings are also expected to come. To this end, we must mobilize all Hong Kong believers to take part in a one-month fasting prayer, seeking the Lord that the disaster will pass by and heavenly blessings be showered to the whole city.
Date: November 18 to December 18, 2019, a total of 31 days, about four and a half weeks
Form: Praying and fasting, either whole fasting or shift relay
1. Adopt fasting period by family, group/fellowship, and church.
2. Choose to fast breakfast, lunch or dinner, or quit meat and take vegetable only.
Content: Will write prayer guidelines (in Chinese)
Pray for church unity in the first week: tolerance and unity, acceptance and love for one another, confession and repentance.
Pray for healing in the second week: forgiveness and reconciliation, justice upholding, and comfort for the casualty.
Pray for the peace in society in the third week: listening to each other, bridging gaps, and resolving resentment.
Pray for evangelism in the fourth week: expelling darkness, welcoming Jesus, and harvesting of lost souls.
Pray for the fulfillment of the destiny of Hong Kong in the last half of the week.
Meeting: Churches or networks in different districts can hold solemn meetings for praying and fasting.
Facebook: Prayer Guide and district solemn meetings information will be uploaded to the “Spiritual Life Transformation Campaign” Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/LifeTransformationMovt/
Everyone in the church has different interpretations of the current situation and has different positions on politics. We do not insist on adopting the same view, but are determined to pursue unity in achieving the biblical goal of welcoming God’s Kingdom and bringing peace to men on earth. Let us pray and fast to prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
