Daily Intercession for Others

       That is one secret of his success, and of the lasting results of his ministry: that he prayed for the seekers after he left them. He prayed one day for all the seekers in Peiping, another day for all those in Tientsin, then for those in Shanghai, Foochow, Hinghwa, etc. So wherever John Sung had been, there were Christians who remained true and faithful.  Wherever I have been in China, including Taiwan, the most faithful and dependable members in the churches were those who had been saved and blest in Dr. Sung's meetings.  Others have said the same.  This is because he prayed for them afterward.  Not long ago I talked to a pastor from Indonesia, who has a thriving church during this great revival time there, and he said that the forty strongest members and best soul winners of his church in Indonesia were the product of John Sung's ministry.

       So as the Lord promised John Sung, it will happen again, and in even larger measure.  As Robert Porteouz predicted: "The desecrated churches and chapels of China will yet resound with the praises of God.”  For that we wait and pray.
