Serving China Prayer Blog

On May 12, 2008 an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the richter scale struck Sichuan province in China. There were an estimated 68,000 people killed in the quake, with another nearly 5 million homeless. Relief workers estimate at least a 5 year rebuilding effort. The pain of those who have lost homes, children and family members is unimaginable. Let’s lift up our prayers for the hurting and lost of Sichuan province, as well as for those there working to bring hope, healing and restoration to these devastated people.

The China Games & Beyond Prayer Journal is designed to guide you through an experience of prayer (and perhaps fasting) in the 40 days surrounding the 2008 Games in Beijing.

Each day contains a meditation, prayer points, questions for reflection, and blank pages for writing your prayers and reflections.

The journal is available hard copy for $8 at the Serving China Resources Page or the file can be downloaded for free here:
