Today's Prayer Request from Pray For China

Cyber cafes where young people, including children who can surf the Internet for free under the guidance of their guardians or teachers, have appeared in major cities across China. The bars are a major part of a trial project approved by the Ministry of Culture, which aims to promote nationwide net monitoring and filtering of illegal and pornographic content by way of a chain operation. The Chinese government has been making efforts to enhance the management of cyber cafes in order to prevent potential safety risks and to protect children from pornography on the Internet. Pray that God continues to use Christian ministries to work hard for the Internet.
