Pray for China (June 1-7, 2026)
Systematically and Strategically Interceding for All of China
Each week I share short profiles about which places to pray for in China each day. Included in each introduction are links to more resources about the city and province to which it belongs. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) to receive reminders each day.
*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.
