昨天（3月15日）晚上，秋雨一位在杭州访友的弟兄苟中灿也失联，短租住处的房东得到邻居消息说有警察来带人，想去住处查看，被小区保安拦阻。今天再去查看的时候已人去楼空，弟兄的衣物还在，手机、电脑都不见了，屋里房东的台式电脑也被拿走。

每天都有弟兄姐妹因房东不堪压力而要求搬走的消息传出来。

然而这一周，我们也听见看见不只是我们在受苦，有更多的孩子们的身体因学校食物受到伤害，而那些家长们也受到无理的对待，甚至肉体的伤害。

诗篇91:2，14-15 我要论到耶和华说，他是我的避难所，是我的山寨，是我的　神，是我所倚靠的。... 神说，因为他专心爱我，我就要搭救他。因为他知道我的名，我要把他安置在高处。他若求告我，我就应允他。他在急难中，我要与他同在。我要搭救他，使他尊贵。

求主用他的话语亲自安慰与基督同受羞辱与磨难中的上帝儿女们，坚定信心，在身体没有自由中，仍旧用心灵诚实，自由地敬拜三一上帝，仰望依靠祂施恩拯救；也求上帝怜悯成都这个城市、这片土地和其上的人们，拯救那些绝望中转向祂寻求盼望的人。

Early Rain Covenant Church Prayer Update #31

“We have yet to learn anything new about brother Pan Fei, who went missing on March 4th.

Yesterday evening (March 15th), brother Gou Zhongcan also went missing while visiting a friend in Hangzhou. The landlord of the place where he was temporarily living heard from a neighbor that police took him away. The landlord tried going there to check things out but was prevented by a security guard. When the landlord went back there today, nobody was in the apartment. Brother Gou’s clothes were still there, but his cell phone and computer were gone. The desktop computer in the room, which belonged to the landlord, had also been taken.

Every day there are new reports of landlords putting great pressure on brothers and sisters to move out of their homes.

Moreover, this week we have seen and heard that we are not the only ones suffering. Many children have become ill because of contaminated school food, and their parents have also been treated poorly. Some have even suffered physical harm.

‘I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”…”Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.”’ (Ps. 91:2, 14-15)

May the Lord, through his word, comfort the children of God who are suffering humiliation and hardship with Christ. May he make them firm in their faith. As they have no physical freedom, may they worship the triune God in spirit and in truth, looking to and relying on the Lord’s grace and salvation. And may God have mercy on Chengdu and on the people who live here. May he save those who, in the midst of their despair, turn to him seeking hope.
