Please pray for the victims of the earthquake that hit Sichuan province in China on Monday.  The BBC reports that nearly 15,000 people have been killed and approximately 25,000 are still waiting to be rescued from the debris of collapsed buildings.  The government has responded quickly, with Premier Wen Jiabao overseeing the relief efforts. 

Please remember to pray for Li Mei, Li Ying, Alimjan Yimit, Wusiman Yiming, and all others imprisoned and suffering for Christ in China.  Also pray that God will use this tragedy to draw the people of China to Christ, and that many would take comfort in Him.
