Macau is a special administrative region of China. Macau is composed of a tiny peninsula and two small islands located on the southeastern border of China. The economy is doing very well due to tourism and the gaming industry[1]. Some economic challenges include diversifying their economy and managing their gaming industry[2]. Additionally, Macau is a destination country for women and girls trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation. Let’s Pray… 

-God, we thank you for your Chinese people in Macau. We pray for your fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to be disbursed throughout all areas of Macau. Jesus, help them to breathe in your goodness and know that you Yeshua are God and Savior. We lift up your Christians and pray for the pouring out of your gifts through fasting, prayer, and the meditation of your word. Help your Christians develop transformational leaders for your kingdom. Father, we pray for your various ministries in Macau and pray your anointing would lead thousands of locals and tourists to encounter you Jesus. Help them to seek you Jesus will all their heart, soul, and strength.*   

-We lift up the gaming industry to you and pray that you Holy Spirit would be flowing and working through this dynamic and challenging environment. Holy Spirit, we ask that you would free dark atmospheres from oppression and that you would pour out your grace in these venues. 

-Yeshua, we pray that you would end human trafficking in Macau. We pray for an angelic presence over the docks of this nation guiding the incoming victims towards a safe home and safe community. We pray for salvation to come to the oppressed and poor. We pray for healing, restoration, and freedom over those held captive. We ask for conviction to fall upon the guilty, and we pray your grace would lead them to repentance, salvation, and restoration. 

-We pray for the borders of this region to be closed off from drug shipments, and that you would convict those involved in the production and transshipment of these drugs to repent from their ways. Amen.
