Texas (International Christian Concern) — Christmas cheer and an outpouring of love by Christians in Texas continue to bless the Shenzen Holy Reformed Church (also known as the Mayflower Church). The 63 church members left China three years ago and traveled through South Korea, Thailand, and to eventual freedom in the United States to escape persecution in China.
The Mayflower families have been staying in Tyler, Texas, for the last several months where they began new jobs, settled their families, and took English classes. They now head to their permanent home in Midland, Texas, around the Christmas holiday. The Tyler community bought seven new vehicles for the Mayflower families to help on their journey.
The Mayflower Church members marvel at this generosity. Other ministries and groups have supported their cause including China Aid, Freedom Seekers, and International Christian Concern.
HOW TO PRAY: Pray for continued provision for these families. Praise God for the community that this church has developed in Texas. Pray for strength for China’s Christians.
