Pray for China (Mar 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.

Fri, Mar 6 - Pray for Hejian City in Hebei Province’s Cangzhou Prefecture, not far south of the Chinese capital, Beijing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hejian
Hebei (“Huh-bay”) Province is paired with both Wisconsin and Michigan for prayer. Check out my Hebei podcast (and more): https://prayforchina.us/index.php/hebei/
Sat, Mar 7 - Pray for Jiagedaqi District in Daxing’anling Prefecture (Black Dragon River Province) AND Oroqen Banner (Inner Mongolia Province). See note below for clarity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiagedaqi_District
Note: Jagdaqi District is the de facto seat of Daxing’anling Prefecture in Heilongjiang, however, its physical location is in Oroqen Autonomous Banner, Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, due to a lack of a suitable location for a seat in Daxing’anling itself. The government of Inner Mongolia disputes this arrangement. (Fascinating.)
Heilongjiang (Black Dragon River), China’s northernmost province, is paired with both Minnesota and the UP of Michigan for prayer. Check out the podcast (and more): https://prayforchina.us/index.php/heilongjiang/
*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 a year 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.
