Most High God, we lift up the people of Hefei—about 5 million souls—to Your holy throne. Known for its rapid industrial growth and its rich cultural heritage, Hefei often clings to tradition and worldly success. We pray that the hearts of its residents will turn away from the endless pursuit of wealth and status and will instead embrace the priceless gift of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Lord, grant courage to every believer in Hefei as they step forward to share the gospel with boldness and compassion. May they speak the truth of Your love with wisdom, and may Your Holy Spirit soften the hearts of those who hear, leading to a great harvest of souls in this city.
Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they wil run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
