Psalm 34:1, “I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises.”
Lord of all, we praise You for Phoebe, the courage You have given her, and the house of prayer she leads in Kunming, China. Encourage every prayer leader, young and old, with the words of Psalm 34:1: “I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises.” We ask that You would enable them to openly add the free celebration of worship to the fervency of their quiet prayers. Come and be with them as they fuel 24/7 prayer and fill their hearts with joy as they exalt Your holy Name. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. |

Kunming, capital city of the Yunnan province, is a large metropolis in southwestern China tucked into the fertile lake basin surrounding Lake Dian. The city is a major communications hub for southwestern China and center of the engineering industry for the nation.
China, having more than 4,000 years of recorded history, and occupying nearly the entire East Asian landmass, is the largest of all Asian countries and the most populous nation on earth. Often mistaken as ethnically homogenous, China is one of the most diverse and complex countries, hosting an array of indigenous peoples.
Despite experiencing one of the greatest Jesus movements in history, with over 100 million Chinese coming to faith since the advent of communism in 1949, Chinese believers, as well as Uyghur Muslims, are facing intense persecution in this hour. With Xi Jinping’s vision of “One Belt, One Road”, and reach for global dominance, an opportunity presents itself for the nation of red and its leaders to fully surrender to King Jesus and wash the earth in the blood of the Lamb.
