About this ebook
Learn from the prayers of persecuted churches in China
The prayers of the Chinese house churches have been shaped by suffering, marginalization, and persecution. They have an urgency that invites us all to understand that the power of prayer goes beyond what we imagine.
This collection of prayers, translated into English for the first time, offers a window into the Chinese house church experience. This collection is for
● anyone whose prayer life has become routine--these prayers will restore urgency, depth, and holy expectation to the way you come before God
● anyone who wants to feel connected to the global church--these prayers are a living bridge to brothers and sisters who have paid a price for their faith that most Western Christians will never be asked to pay
● anyone who is looking for bold new ways to pray--worship, praise, thanksgiving, repentance, and intercession, shaped by a community that prays as if everything depends on it
These prayers will teach you how to pray with faith and fervor. They will remind you of your unbreakable union with the triumphant Christ, even in the thickest darkness. And they will call you into deeper solidarity with a church that has learned something about prayer Western Christians rarely discover on their own.
