MARCH is a special month set aside for prayer for the Uighurs. Right now there is a special prayer initiative going on (March 1-21) to raise up 500 hours of prayer for the Uighurs. This initiative leads up to March 21st with the Annual Day of Prayer for the Uighurs on March 21st! Please go to: www.pray4them.com for more information or to sign up for a prayer slot.
There is a big difference in the atmosphere in Urumqi (the capital of Xinjiang province in China) since the horrific events of last July. The streets are empty, thousands of Uighurs have left Urumqi to return to their villages and there is much fear. And yet…this could be the perfect environment for God to move! The political situation for the more than 10 Million Uighurs in China is very similar to the political situation that Jesus was born into 2000 years ago. And yet, He came into the midst of that tumultuous situation with peace and hope and salvation. He is the same today and wants to come to the Uighurs with the same promise of peace, hope and salvation! Please pray for God to move amongst the Uighur people in a special way, drawing many to Christ! Praise God for recent reports of Uighurs in the villages coming to Christ! Continue to pray as well for Alimjan who has been given a 15 year prison sentence for his faith.&n! bsp; Pray for God to do a miracle and for this court decision to be overturned. Pray for Alimjan and his wife and children to be strengthened and encouraged during this very difficult time.
Thank you for standing in the gap for the Uighurs!
