A Heartcry for China

A long long time ago, in a far away land called China, Hudson Taylor began his work of ministry in spreading the word to the Chinese. At the beginning of his work, he led a young man to Christ, Brother Ni. After the truth was unveiled in this young man's heart, Brother Ni asked Hudson Taylor this question: "'How long have your people in Europe known about Jesus and His way of salvation?'
Taylor answered that the gospel had been available to a greater or lesser extent in Europe for hundreds of years. 'If that is so,' replied Brother Ni, 'why did my father in China have to search for the truth for twenty years -- and die without ever finding it?'"

This burden is still heavily laid upon my heart. There are still so many unreached people; people who have never ever heard of the gospel. Nations and tribes that are in need of someone to bring the truth to them. How can we, knowing this fact, not doing anything about it? Oh Lord, my cry is that you'll send me to unreached places, unreached people, so that your gospel may be known to those who have not heard.

The Lord has been teaching me a lot about prayer. I've been yearning to go back, but the Lord spoke to me yesterday, and said so clearly to me that I need to labour in prayer for China: His land and His people. That I need to educate myself with information about China so that I could pray even more. Oh Lord, my cry now is that you'll discipline me to pray for your people and instill in me, oh the more, a love that never grows weary, a love that would never give up.
