Tuesday
Federal decentralized model of local churches, such independent churches stressed the independence of the Church itself, or local, there is no national system of contact, there is no recognized national leader. Church of the Chinese cities also began to plant churches in all parts of the country, the establishment of their own sect, has its own theology classes to train its own preachers, missionaries trends pray for their growth, brought about, not compete with each other, mutual ignoring mining , but more spiritual love the Lord.
Wednesday
Official Theological Seminary, such as the Nanjing Jinling Theological Seminary, Zhejiang Theological Seminary and other cultured preacher "Three-Self" church pastor "home churches" generally do not accept that it is a government-run, so "home churches" have their own courses. "Home churches" have their own training courses, training preachers. In particular, we pray in the Beijing area in many different churches and denominations do the Theological Seminary, training to the Lord help students not only knowledge of the Bible, better life change.
Thursday
Preachers need to systematically study the relevant theology and humanities courses, the general need to learn two years. "Home churches" training course is the school for the training of preachers, a class 30 to 50 can be obtained after completing their studies, missionary qualifications, full-time missionary in the "house church". We pray to God for the training of students. The younger generation have not been made a mature personality, patience, and yes, politics. The Lord has given every one to accept the theological seminary students of the equipment, so that they have the Lord's humble, and willing to serve life.
Friday
In the city church, a special form of the city emerging church. Cities in the emerging church is a church with the traditional "family" special "Three-Self Church is not the same church. The last 15 years due to urbanization and development of commodity economy in the city, mainly young Christian church. Many churches mostly sisters, brothers, but less. Us to better witness for the Lord's wife at home to pray, so that their lives can affect their husbands, their husbands can also accept the gospel. We pray for the couples in the city church, Lord, let all the couples are believers, and the Lord greatly to use them, can become with the help of the church ministry.
Saturday
Chinese cities in the emerging church, first, mainly young people. Relatively speaking, their higher educational level, we have some churches there are a large number of intellectuals Gratitude to the Lord. Relatively older generation, thinking, unlike the older generation as a closed and narrow, but more open. They and the community, intellectuals, and the government is easier to dialogue, not to listen to the views of other populations. Rural "Church", because the education and culture is not high, it is very likely to have a tendency to the cult of personality, very easy to produce so-called cult heresy.
Sunday
Cities in the emerging church, mainly young people, they are not the same as the older generation, and "Three-Self" churches do not have much historical grievances. The relative numbers of relatively small, and not attached to the larger "home churches" also known as "independent churches". The city emerging church characteristics, independent of the "Three-Self" Church, in fact, more with "Three-Self" color. We pray for the pastoral care of young believers, their lives are very busy to work, take care of children, a great need for marriage counseling, training of parent-child relationship.
Monday
Geographically, in major cities throughout the city of mainly young people, emerging church,. Especially in Beijing, everywhere the Church. Some communities even every street, there is a church. Shanghai, the city's number of emerging church actually. The number of the emerging church is more, far more than the "Three-Self Church. We as a city church Thanksgiving, Lord thriving conservative them the sense of openness of mind to preach the gospel, especially the unity of spirit to pray for our brothers and sisters, because they often substandard to leave, another example of establishment of the Church point.

星期二
聯邦分權模式的地方教會,由於強調教會自身的獨立性,因此目前還是地方性的,沒有全國性的聯絡體系,也沒有公認的全國性領袖。中國城市教會也開始在全國各地植堂,成立自己的宗派,擁有自己的神學班,培養自己的傳道人,我們為他們的成長及所帶來的宣教趨勢祈求,願主保守眾信徒間有合一相顧的心,不是彼此競爭,互不理采,而是能更屬靈愛主,淡化教會間的界限,共同攜手努力拓展神國度的大使命。
星期三
中國的官方神學院如南京金陵神學院、浙江神學院等培養的傳道人,主要在「三自」教會牧會,一般「家庭教會」認為是政府辦的,不會接受他們。因此「家庭教會」有自己的培訓班及師資來培育傳道人。我們特別為在北京地區許多不同教會及宗派所辦的神學院來代禱,求主幫助所有接受裝備的學員們,不單單有聖經知識,更能有生命的改變。
星期四
教會的傳道人需要有系統地學習相關神學和人文課程,一般要兩年的時間。「家庭教會」培訓班是培訓傳道人的學校,一個班有3050人,學完之後可取得傳道資格,在 「家庭教會」做專職傳道人。我們要為所有接受培訓的神學生們祈求。年輕一代在個性、耐性及待人處世上都尚未臻成熟。求主賜給每一位接受神學裝備的神學生智慧與悟性,讓他們不但有主的謙卑虛己態度,更有樂意服事主和救人靈魂的生命見証。
星期五
在城市教會中,有一種特殊的形式,即城市新興教會。她與傳統的「家庭教會」及「三自」教會都不太一樣。最近15年來,由於城市化和商品經濟的發展,在城市中出現了以年輕的基督徒為主的教會。許多教會中以姐妹居多,弟兄甚少。我們禱告所有信主的妻子在家能有美好的見証,也能影響她們的丈夫接受福音。更為城市教會中的夫妻禱告,求主幫助他們都是信主的好伴侶,讓主大大使用他們成為教會事工的幫助。
星期六
中國的城市新興教會以年輕人為主。他們的文化程度相對而言較高,我們為一些教會有大量的知識份子向主感恩。他們的思維比較開放,不像老一輩那樣封閉狹隘,他們和社會各界、與知識份子及政府比較容易對話,也不盲目為他群體的意見所左右。農村「家庭教會」因教育文化水平不高,極易有個人崇拜的傾向,非常容易產生所謂邪教、異端的問題。求主賜下分辨的靈及忠心有見識的牧者照管羊群。
星期日
城市新興教會以年輕人為主,他們與老一輩不一樣,與「三自」教會也沒有多少歷史恩怨。由於人數又相對比較少,也不隸屬其他更大的「家庭教會」,因此被 稱為「獨立教會」。城市新興教會具有其特徵,雖然獨立於「三自」教會,其實更具備實質的「三自」色彩。我們為年輕信徒的牧養需要來禱告,他們的生活非常忙碌,要工作又要照顧孩子,他們亟需婚姻家庭方面的輔導,和兒童教養和親子關係等的培訓。
星期一
以年輕人為主的城市新興教會, 從地域來說遍佈全國各大城市。尤其在北京,到處都是這型的教會。有的社區甚至每隔一條街就有一間教會。在上海,城市新興教會數目反而少一些。這種新興教會的人數也非常多,遠遠超過傳統的「三自」教會。我們為城市教會感恩,求主保守、興旺他們那股傳福音的心志,也特別為弟兄姐妹有合一的靈來祈求,不要動輒不合就離開,另外再建教會點,當信徒彼此相愛互相建造,福音必然興旺。
