2020年为受逼迫的基督徒祷告国际联祷会

对华援助协会 马纳萨斯改革宗长老会 殉道者之声

 

        111日,由The Voice of the Martyrs(殉道者之声)组织倡导发起纪念全球各地遭受逼迫的教会和基督徒的代祷活动。对华援助协会(ChinaAid)和弗吉尼亚州马纳萨斯改革宗长老会(Reformed Presbyterian Church)为此共同举办了联祷会,联祷会由邱家軍弟兄主持並通過YouTube 民主中華傳媒直播。

美國国家神职人员理事会主席,国会布道团成员,马纳萨斯改革宗长老会牧师Rev. Allen Church 籍诗篇第二篇9-12节作了这次祷告会的开幕祷告。他在祷告中特此说道:我们为着主使用和高举那些受逼迫者祷告,上帝赐予他们在基督里的自由。这自由是在基督的国度中所建立的。……我们也为对华援助协会的使命祷告,并为其他组织帮助那些在任何地方受逼迫的基督徒尤其是中国的基督徒代祷。

         随后由对华援助协会的主席傅希秋牧师为世上近60个国家受逼迫的基督徒祷告。他在祷告中提及“主曾宣告:为义受逼迫的人有福了!因为天国是他们的。你的公义也属于他们。不管是在北韩,沙特阿拉伯,尼日利亚,巴基斯坦,斯里兰卡或中国,无论他们在哪里,当他们为了耶稣基督公义的名的缘故受到逼迫时,主听见他们的哭泣和呼喊。傅牧师那些为在监狱中,拘留中心里的肢体祷告。例如失踪的高智晟弟兄,和其他忠心的主仆王怡牧师,曹三强牧师,阿里木江依米提牧师,以及许多在狱中我们不知名的肢体,但是主知道他们每个人的名字。他也为受逼迫中的王怡牧师妻子蒋蓉师母,儿子约书亚祷告。同时也为在监禁中的张展姐妹祷告。主与他们同在,也因着圣约的应许与他们同行。”

        来自喀麦隆的牧师卢多为科 引用诗篇23篇来描述中国基督徒的处境。他祷告:“天父,永远的上帝,我们祷告你为了你的儿女争战,也为了基督耶稣的名争战,释放他们,拯救他们。现在正是改变历史的时刻,祈求主做同样的事情在每个受逼迫的基督徒尤其是中国基督徒身上,如同为了主名的缘故改变使徒保罗那样。

参加联祷会的还有来自中國家庭教会的黄牧师,维权律师江弟兄通过网络见证祷告,鼓励了众弟兄姊妹。

加拿大的北美浸信会信友堂的洪予健牧师,丰收华夏教会的张伯笠牧师先后通过语音电话参与祷告会。随后有来自弗吉尼亚州美南浸信会的爱加倍教会王岛牧师也为家庭教会被逼迫的各牧者祷告。然后由Manassas改革宗长老会的左海艳姊妹做了逼迫案例的简述,金昌弟兄随之献上代祷。

联祷会最后由弗吉尼亚州主恩基督教会的王志勇牧师借着诗篇33篇盼望的祷告中结束。他在祷告中特地纪念了傅希秋牧師,胡石根长老,王怡牧师,李英强长老,曹三强牧师,维权律师和耿潇男夫妻,恳求神亲自安慰他们,使他们早日得自由与家人团聚。

 

International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians 2020

ChinaAid  Reformed Presbyterian ChurchManassas

The Voice of the Martyrs

On Nov.1, The Voice of the Martyrs organized an intercession event to pray for the persecuted Christians and churches around the world. ChinaAid and the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Manassas, Virginia co-organized a joint prayer meeting hosted by Brother John Churchill through YouTube Democratic China Media for live.

President of the United States National Clergy Alliance, Member of Congressional Mission, the pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Manassas, Virginia, Rev. Allen Church made the opening prayer by Psalm 2, verses 9-12 for this prayer meeting. He specifically said in his prayer: We pray for the Lord to use and lift up those who are persecuted, and God grants them freedom in Christ that are found in the kingdom of Christ. ...We also pray for the mission of the ChinaAid, and pray for other organizations to help those who are persecuted everywhere, especially Christians in China.

Then Pastor Bob Fu , chairman of ChinaAid, prayed for persecuted Christians in nearly 60 countries around the world. He mentioned in his prayer that "The Lord has declared: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness! Because heaven is theirs. Your righteousness belongs to them. Whether it is in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka or China, no matter where they are, when they were persecuted for the sake of the righteous name of Jesus Christ, the Lord heard them crying and shouting. Pastor Bob Fu prayed for the limbs in prisons and detention centers. Like the missing brother Gao Zhisheng, and other loyal faithful servants Pastor Wang Yi, Pastor John Cao, Pastor AliMujiang Yimiti, and many of our unknown members in prison, but the Lord knows the name of each of them. He also prayed for persecuted the pastor Wang Yi 's wife, Ms. Jiang Rong, and her son Joshua. In the meantime, he also prayed for sister Zhang Zhan who is in prison. The Lord is with them and walks with them due to the covenant promise."

Cameroonian Pastor Ludovique Tchakounte cited Psalm 23 to describe the situation of Chinese Christians. He prayed: "Father, everlasting God, we pray you fight for your children, and also fight for the name of Christ Jesus, to free them and rescue them. Right now the time is to change history, and pray that the Lord will do the same thing on each persecuted Christian, especially on Chinese Christian, the same way you changed the apostle Paul for the sake of the Lord’s name.

Also attending the joint prayer meeting was Pastor Huang from the house church in China, and brother Jiang, a human rights lawyer in China, encouraged all the brothers and sisters through internet testimony and prayer. Pastor Hong Yujian of the Faith Chinese North American Baptist Church in Canada and Pastor Zhang Boli of Harvest China Church participated in the prayer meeting via telephone. Later, Pastor Wang dao of Agape Church from Southern Baptist Church in Virginia also prayed for the persecuted pastors of the house church. Then sister Zuo Haiyan of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Manassas gave a brief introduction of persecution cases, and brother Jin Chang prayed for them all.

The ending prayer by Pastor Wang Zhiyong of the Grace Christian Church, VA with the hope prayer of Psalm 33. In his prayer, he specially commemorated Pastor Bob Fu, Elder Hu Shigen, Pastor Wang Yi, Elder Li Yingqiang, Pastor John Cao, human rights lawyers, and Geng Xiaonan couple. And he also asked God to comfort them personally so that they would be free to reunite with their families.
