With less than a month left, the world will soon shift its focus to China Beijing Olympics.

While the shift takes place, several passionate Christians are still focused on the believers in China, whom God loves, and request for prayers for the unregistered church members who face restrictions in their religious freedom.

Recently a prominent representative of a group of house churches in China asked Christians throughout the free world to pray for China during the Olympics. The Voice of the Martyrs, in partnership with China Aid Associates, has accepted that call and has produced the Olympic Prayer Band. They would like to invite all to request one for free to wear during the Olympics.

On the Olympic prayer band, it says “Pray for China” in English or Chinese.

Similar prayer bands will also be distributed to house church Christians in China and they will be praying for you as well.

If you wish to request for “Olympic Prayer Band” to pray for the unregistered church, you may visit the VOM’s website at www.persecution.org.
