Lenten Season prayer campaign coincides with government crackdown on mercy workers and opponents of the One-Child Policy
Boston, MA – All Girls Allowed (AGA)invites all praying believers to join together for 40 days of reflection and petition for the oppressed in China.
For the Lenten Season, AGA, a non-profit organization devoted to restoring life, value and dignity to girls and mothers in China, will guide members through a 40 day journey of discovering God’s heart for mercy, women, girls, life and justices.
Interested individuals and churches will sign up to receive daily emails or Facebook updates that contain Scripture, reflection and focused prayer. Weekly themes include “Old and New Testament Women of Faith”, “Mercy and Justice”, and “God’s Special Love for Women”.
This year, Lent comes at a time of great danger for Christians, human rights workers and women in China. The recent crackdown on humanitarian workers seems to have been brought about by rumors of a peaceful “Jasmine Revolution”. Those who oppose the country’s policy of forced abortions and sterilizations for women have faced beatings, detainment and imprisonment.
“The season of Lent is a beautiful time to meditate on the gift of freedom we have because of Christ’s sacrifice,” says Brian Lee, Executive Director of All Girls Allowed. “Our team has chosen to give up a few minutes every day to pray for those still in chains, whether spiritual or physical. Because of the One-Child Policy, girls and mothers are still enslaved.”
“For those with a plan, Lent is an exciting time of anticipation and prayer, and this daily guide is a great addition to your devotional time,” says Lee. “For those not sure what to give up or how to pray, subscribe to this prayer guide. Challenge yourself to give up time—a few minutes a day— and join us to pray for girls and mothers in China!”
All Girls Allowed (AGA) was founded by Chai Ling, two-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and former chief student leader in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Democracy Movement. Visitors to AGA’s website can send a Baby Shower Gift to ensure a baby girl has a chance at life, sponsor an orphaned girl’s education, sign a pledge to support girls’ value, and find resources about the One-Child Policy.
