Churches Keep the Monthly 9th Fasting Prayer for Persecuted Chinese Churches

Saturday, October 10, 2026 · Faith · GSM News

The monthly fasting prayer meeting for persecuted churches in China, jointly initiated by Zion Church, Harvest Chinese Christian Church, Early Rain Covenant Church, the North American Baptist Faithful Church and other churches and ministries, continues this month on the 9th. Pastor Zhang Boli of Harvest Chinese Christian Church is among the initiators, and the Los Angeles Harvest church previously hosted an in-person prayer gathering on January 9 for pastors, co-workers and believers across Greater Los Angeles.

Rooted in Hebrews 13:3, 'Remember those in prison,' the initiative gathers special prayer items each month and fasts for Chinese house churches under persecution, detained pastors and co-workers, and their families. The initiators invite more churches to join by co-signing, hosting a future month, or serving as volunteers.

GSM's Faith channel will continue to follow prayer and watchfulness ministries in the Chinese church. (Sources: the initiative's public video and organizer church information)
