The National People's Congress (NPC) will convene in Beijing in March 2011. This NPC will approve China's 12th five-year plan which give opportunity to see the direction of China and to gauge implication for all working in China. These changes will affect education, economics, foreign policy, and many other areas. How will transition occur while ensuring social stability? The meeting will last for two weeks and is the "supreme organ of state power" making laws and electing the highest leaders in China. It approves the decisions and plans handed down by the Party.
Please pray:for a spirit of harmony among the delegates and a desire to serve all the people of China; that plans developed will be successful at increasing employment in the cities, particularly among the migrant population; that the number of quality primary and secondary schools will be increased, particularly those serving migrant children; that policies adopted will not result in continuing escalation of food prices that will hurt the poor; that such policies will benefit all people and work against corruption in government; and that there would be more openness and collaboration with the international community, reducing tensions and increasing cooperation.
The Christian Church in China has grown immensely, reaching into the tens of millions. Still, there are 427 people groups within China that are unreached or "least-reached". Please pray for the protection and guidance of His people in China; for their witness to be Spirit-filled and full of love and obedience to the Word; for these unreached people groups to have His truth brought to them.
