Across the Bajio of Central Mexico and in Precious Sunshine City, East Asia, many do not know that Jesus died so that they might have eternal life. They do not know that the Author of love desires to embrace them. Everyone wants to find love, and the Chinese are no different. Valentine’s Day has been adopted by many young Chinese, and this month will find many seeking that perfect relationship that will satisfy their longing, their desire for “true love.” Most will be looking in the wrong places. They will be seeking what the movies and novels describe as love, what their peers say is love, and missing the truth that only a relationship with Jesus will truly satisfy the longings that so many feel..  February 14 is a special day in the United States, when children buy or make little valentine cards to give to their friends. People buy chocolate, stuffed animals, or other gifts to tell their loved one how much they are loved. Over in Africa, it can be one of the deadliest holidays ever. Unfaithfulness plays a big part in marriages during the month of February. The epidemic of AIDS spreads so much. Human means of prevention will not stop this destructive behavior; only the Word of God being alive in the hearts of the Kalanga of Botswana and Zimbabwe will. Thank you for praying for the Kalanga people. * Please pray for faithfulness in marriage among the Kalanga, as well as purity among the youth and unmarried adults. * Pray for times of openness among the people of Beijing and Precious Sunshine City, East Asia leading to conversations about the love of God.  * Intercede for the millions of lives in the Bajio of Central Mexico that God’s light and love will penetrate their hearts.
