1. Please Pray: Heavenly Father, we ask in Jesus’ name that You stretch out Your hand and perform notable healings in China by just speaking the word on Christmas Day 2024, to give the Light of Christ to the 1.3 billion who live in spiritual darkness, and do not know You, including to the 140 million in the 441 Unreached People Groups in China who have virtually no chance of hearing the gospel. We also ask that the news of these healing miracles will spread throughout China in every province, city, and municipality—to give the persecuted church an open door to preach the gospel with the Christmas Story, for a great harvest for Your glory. Amen.
2. Hui, Islam – Frontier Peoples Group Largest Unreached 0.01%
Please Pray: Father, I ask in Jesus’ name that You would sprinkle clean water on the Hui (HWAY) on Christmas Day, the largest Muslim Unreached People Group in China, so that they will be clean from all their filthiness and from all their idols. Give the 13.7 million who live in nearly all of China’s provinces, counties and municipalities, a new heart and put a new spirit within them. Take away their stony hearts and give them hearts of flesh. Put your Spirit within the Hui on Christmas Day, who are the largest and most widespread of China’s Muslim peoples, and cause them to walk in your statutes. May they keep your ordinances and do them. (Ezekiel 36:25-27)
3. Uyghurs, Islam: Frontier People’s Group 2nd Largest Unreached 0.01%
Please Pray: Lord Jesus, You showed us the harvest is the ripest where the pain is the greatest when after You healed the multitudes, You turned to Your disciples and said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” Cause us to lift up our eyes, and look at the fields, and see the 11.9 million Uyghur Muslims are ripe for harvest already because of their pain. Over 1.3 million have been forced into re-education camps by the (Chinese Communist Party) to renounce their Uyghur identity, while their children are put into orphanage’s and given new identities. Many have labelled the government’s treatment of Uyghurs as genocide. Father, I ask in Jesus name that the suffering Uyghurs would experience Your comfort from within the re-education camps and in their broken homes with notable healings miraculously performed by You on Christmas Day to show Your love and kindness. (John 4:35; Matthew 9:35-38)
4. Muslims Night of Power
Please Pray: Heavenly Father, many Muslims seek and desire a special revelation of God through dreams and visions, and for the forgiveness of their sins on the Night of Power during Ramadan. I pray on Christmas Night You will give them their hearts desire with a special revelation of Jesus, as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. I also pray in Jesus’ name that You will miraculously heal many Muslims who are sick on Christmas night to reveal Yourself as Jehovah-Rapha, the LORD who heals you, and that Christians in Muslim communities will boldly share the good news of salvation through the Christmas story at this time. (John 1:29; Exodus 15:26; Titus 3:5)
5. Kazakh, Islam, Sunni Muslims; 1,882,000 in China, 16,736,000 in the World, Frontier Unreached 0.1%
Please Pray: Father, You love all Muslims, like You do all other people groups in the world (John 3:16) and You love to bless them to show Your love every day like in the way You make the sun rise on the evil and on the good, and by sending rain on the just and unjust. Father, Muslims are our neighbors and Jesus taught us how we can love and bless them every day too—by praying blessings on them and their families (Matthew 5:44). We lift up to You the Kazakh Tribe, an Unreached People Group of 1,882,000 Sunni Muslims in China and pray that You will heal all of their diseases on Christmas Day. And we pray after seeing these miracles the Kazakh Muslims will have a sense of a Holy God, fall down at Jesus’ knees, and say, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” (Luke 5:8). And, we pray that the news of Your love will spread to the other 16,636,000 Kazakh Sunni Muslims around the world.
6. Uzbek, Islam, Sunni Muslims; 22,000 in China, 32,497,000 Worldwide Unreached People Group 0.5%
Please Pray: Lord Jesus, You said, “I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14). We lift up to You the Uzbek Tribe, an Unreached People Group of 22,000 Sunni Muslims in China. We ask that You alone will stretch out Your hand and miraculously raise the dead by just speaking the word wherever the dead may lay in homes, hospitals, morgues or tombs on Christmas Day 2024, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. And we pray after seeing the dead raised to life the Uzbek Muslims will see that “You are the resurrection and the life. He who believes in You, though he may die, he shall live” (John 11:25). And we pray the news of You raising the dead on Christmas Day will also reach the 32,497,000 Uzbek Sunni Muslims worldwide so that they too may believe, like in the way many believed after You raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:43-45).
7. Mongolian, Peripheral: Frontier Peoples Third Largest Unreached 0.04%
Please Pray: O God, open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ to the 5.5 million Mongolian, Peripheral, the third largest unreached people group of Buddhists in China who have no Christian witness among them. Lord God, cause the Mongolians to come and reason with You. Though their sins be as scarlet, may they be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, may they be as wool. Cause an open door for the gospel through the notable healings performed by You on Christmas Day. (Colossians 4:3; Isaiah 1:18-19; Acts 4)
8. Khampa Eastern: 4th Largest Unreached 0.05% 1,597,000
Please Pray: Lord Jesus, You said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” I lift up to You the 1,597,000 Khampa Eastern Buddhists who rely on demons, ghosts, and the spirits of disembodied deities to guide their decisions and who worship Yama, the god of death whom they believe controls all the events of their lives. Cause the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, to shine on them, lest the god of this world [Satan] blind their minds from the truth. I pray for a “book of Acts” type of movement to Christ among the Khampa Eastern Buddhists beginning with notable healings on Christmas Day to give believers boldness to share the Christmas Story. (2 Corinthians 4:4; John 8:12)
9. Tibetan Central Buddhist Frontier Peoples 6th Largest Unreached 0.1%
Please Pray: Father, I pray that repentance and remission of sins would be preached in Jesus’ name in China to all the Tibetan Central Buddhists. They worship demons, channel spirits, and their patron saint is Chenrezig, whose image has up to 11 heads and from 2 to 1,000 arms. Father, may the 940,000 Tibetan Central Buddhists walk in the light of the Lord. May they not walk in darkness, but have the light of life and come to know Jesus as the light of the world through the notable healings performed by Him on Christmas Day, and by these miracles fuel a movement preaching the gospel far and wide. (Luke 24:47; Isaiah 2:5; John 8:12)
10. Tibetan Gtsang Buddhists: 7th Largest Unreached 0.02%
Father, I thank you that You will bring health and a cure to the 100% Un-Evangelized and Un-Reached People Groups like Tibetan Gtsang in China who worship Buddha and have a long history of having no interest in the gospel. Reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth. Bring the 768,000 Tibetan Gtsang Buddhists back from captivity and build them up. Cleanse and pardon them from all their iniquities, by which they have sinned and transgressed against You. Father, provide for their physical and spiritual needs as a testimony to Your power and love and perform notable healings on Christmas Day as an example of Your grace and mercy. In Jesus Name I Pray. (Jeremiah 33:6-8)
11. Pingdi Peoples: 5th Largest Unreached 0.1% 1,358,000
Please Pray: Father, you sent Jesus as a witness to testify about the light so that all the Tribes on Earth might believe through Him. I lift up to You the Pingdi Peoples who live in spiritual darkness because of their Ethnic Religions. May You open the eyes of the Pingdi Peoples, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Father, because of the mountainous area they are rarely visited by outsiders who might share the gospel. May You visit the 1,358,000 Pingdi Peoples with notable healings performed by You on Christmas Day to testify about the light of Jesus and to give outsiders boldness to go and share the gospel. (Acts 26:18)
12. Zhuang People Guangxi Ethnic Religions Unreached 1% Evangelical
Please Pray: Heavenly Father, The Bible reveals, that You desire that all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth in Jesus Christ. I desire therefore that all of the 17 Million Zhuang People, all 16 Tribes of them, to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth in Jesus Christ. Father, because the Zhuang People are an Unreached People Group with less than 1% of Evangelical Christians living among them and nearly 90% have never heard the gospel in one of China’s least-developed and most remote provinces; I pray therefore for You to provide for their physical and spiritual needs by performing notable healings on Christmas Day as a testimony of Your power and love, and by these miracles may the Zhuang people believe and be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth in Jesus Christ. I also pray for Christians to reach even the most remote corners of this region. (1 Timothy 2:3-4, John 2:23, 20:30-31).
