30 Days for the Zhuang (Prayer Guide) - Mekong Springboard Mission

DAY 23: Key Opportunities: Students”Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declareyour marvelous deeds.“Psalm 71:17When Wei Minheng left his small, poor village to attend university in a bigcity, everything seemed different and new. He loved the days in his mountainvillage with its small terraced farms, the hours he swam in the clear riverwith his friends, even the times when he had to carry heavy loads up thehill. However, he also felt the responsibility to help support his family andthe obligation not to show disrespect or offend the ancestors traditionallyworshiped. Since very few Zhuang have the opportunity to attend university, Wei Minheng felt the necessityto work hard and not let his family down. Lonely at first in the big city university, his mind became open tonew ideas.God provided an opportunity for him to learn the only good news which could provide everlasting life forhim and his family. He accepted it gladly and shared his new beliefs with his close friends at college. Then,the first holiday when he could return home, he eagerly shared this good news with his village family. Theybegan studying the Bible with their neighbors, who in turn told their relatives in the next village and starteda church there. One spark had lit a fire that spread to many Zhuang in spiritual darkness.Pray:• That China’s college students can become strong Christian leaders for the country of China and spreadGod’s word to cities and villages everywhere.• That Zhuang students would be saved and take the gospel back to their villages to fuel a church plantingmovement among the Zhuang.• That many college students would be free to joyfully raise their voices in praise and worship to God!
