PREPARING FOR CHINA


PRAYER
FOR CHINA

You can sign up for updates from various sources. Of course, I have no control over what they mention. I think they are good sources of information though.

FOR CO-WORKERS
Please pray for the people that you hope to help in China. As you contact various mission boards and find out about their workers in China, begin praying for them.

FOR YOURSELF
God has much to do in your life to shape you for missions work. Embrace the changes he makes in you. He is the master potter and knows best what to do to prepare you.
