Pray for 316NOW's Firmly Forward efforts

You can make a difference in 316NOW’s grace across China NOW ministry right now.

And again tomorrow. And the days after that.

Pray for 316NOW.

In the face of health and economic challenges in the United States and growing government resistance to the gospel in China, 316NOW remains determined to move ahead, to move Firmly Forward.

316NOW teaches church leaders in China the truth of God’s Word so that the message of God’s grace comes to every corner of China.

But to accomplish that, we plead for your prayers.

316NOW’s reason for existing is to proclaim grace across China NOW. We are increasing our efforts to do that. We call our redoubled efforts Firmly Forward. 

Here’s one reason Firmly Forward is important. Every week our current 200 online students – along with students who have taken classes in the past – are preaching sermons and teaching Bible studies in their churches and in their communities that are based on what those students have learned from our online courses. Through them, almost 50,000 people – all across China – have been impacted with solid Bible instruction. 

But 316NOW has an even greater ultimate goal. 316NOW is praying that the Spirit will use our efforts to create a Confessional Lutheran movement in China. We pray that through our efforts – and the efforts of sister organizations working in China – a strong and growing group of truly orthodox churches will rise up and impact all of China. 

316NOW teaches church leaders in China the truth of God’s Word so that the message of God’s grace comes to every corner of China. Take a moment – right now – to ask the Spirit to continue to expand our ministry. To help us move Firmly Forward. 

I'm Jim Aderman, the executive director for 316NOW.
