Hui in China
hway

By the middle of the seventh century, Arab and Persian traders and merchants traveled to China. Many settled in various regions. As artisans, scholars, officials, and religious leaders, they spread across China, becoming the ancestors of today's Hui. While the Hui remain primarily in China, they also have communities in other Asian countries. Distinct from other Chinese ethnic groups, the Hui are united by their Islamic faith and practices. The majority follow Sunni Muslim beliefs. Their traditions—such as clothing, language, and lifestyle—blend Chinese culture with Islamic distinctives. Those distintives include daily prayers, halal dietary practices, and a community life centered on the mosque. This combination of Chinese cultural integration and religious identity continues to define the Hui.

Ministry Obstacles
There are very few Hui believers who can share the gospel with those from their community.

Scripture Focus
"For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you."  Psalm 86:5

Scripture Prayer
Thank the Lord that He is eager to offer love and forgiveness to peoples who turn to Him for help!

Prayer Focus
Pray for Hui culture to be renewed and enhanced by a work of the Holy Spirit. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move among their family and community leaders to seek his face and enjoy his blessings. Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers who will be compelled to nurture a movement to Christ among the Hui. Pray that soon the Hui will have faith that will lead them to live lives that will draw others to the Savior.
