在中国，自杀现已成为人口第五大死因。每年约有25万人死于自杀，还有更多的人自杀未遂。导致自杀最常见的原因来自家庭和婚姻问题，其次是失业和 金钱问题。中国的基督徒往往认为选择自杀的人是弱者，以至于对意图自杀者缺乏怜悯之心。求神帮助中国的教会能以神的恩慈同情并积极向正为生活问题绝望无助 的人伸出援手。

Suicide is now the fifth leading cause of death in China. Every year 250,000 die of suicide and just as many more attempt kill themselves. The most common reason for committing suicide is family and marriage problems with loss of jobs and money running a close second. Since Chinese Christians tend to feel that those who turn to suicide are basically weak, they tend not to feel pity for them. Let us pray for people in the churches to have compassion and a willingness to help those who are desperately seeking solutions and answers for problems in their lives.
