Prayer item Hua Huiqi
On 8 February, Beijing house-church leader Hua Huiqi was formally arrested by Beijing Public Security Bureau Chaoyang Branch and his 76-year-old mother was arrested for the second time by Beijing Security Bureau Chongwen Branch.
In January, Hua Huiqi and his elderly mother were attacked and wounded by seven police officers while walking near a 2008 Olympic hotel site in Beijing, China. His family later learned he was sentenced to one month of criminal detention.
"We are deeply concerned about Brother Hua and his elderly, ill mother. They are faithful Christians seeking only to serve the Lord in accordance with their conscience. We encourage Christians around the world to pray for their family, and we strongly urge the Chinese government to release them immediately," (VOM)
* Pray for the heath and well being of Hua and his mother. Pray for their release and in the mean time pray they will be well treated.
* Pray for strength and faithfulness for the rest of the family and for their church.
* Pray for the thriving house church movement in China.
