Pray for China (Apr 26-May 2, 2026)
Systematically and Strategically Interceding for All of China

*Scroll to the bottom for my explanation of how I decide which cities to pray for daily.
Also, on the China Compass podcast I usually try to mention the unique places targeted for prayer that week, along with any helpful information or stories that come to mind.

*Beginning in early 2024, I began working through each of China’s 31 provinces/regions once per month (on shorter months I skip a smaller, less-populated province), highlighting one new place per day, starting with the most populated in each province. More than two years later, I continue working my way down through each province’s prefecture/city list by population (greatest to least). The goal is to eventually pray for every prefecture, city, and county in China, the vast majority which the average western Christian has never even heard of.
