MISSIONS Beijing, China

(BAY-jing) - This month, all of China will celebrate the Chinese New Year.

One of the customs of this holiday is to write wishes for prosperity, good

health, and good luck for the coming year and to post them at the entry way

of one's home to bless all who enter in. Family and friends will gather to

feast and share gifts. Pray for Christians as they post, through their lives, the

love and hope found in knowing Christ. Pray that God's great gift will be

boldly proclaimed and that the doors of the kingdom will be thrown open for

many to enter in!
