Sinicization poems published 
An official in Liaoning published a collection of poems focused on religious Sinicization, which include lyrics echoing the political views of the CCP and the integration of Communist Party socialist values into religious activity. Our report on how the CCP continues to ban the use of traditional Gospel hymns.
Pray for all Chinese Christians who face persecution. 
CCP: Sinicization not limited to clergy 
A May 1st article details Communist Party plans to advance Christian Sinicization focuses on clergy, seminary students, and other religious volunteers in efforts to make the "Sinicization of Christianity a conscious thought and action of the Chinese church." More on the CCP's plan from 2023-2027 to Sinicize the Gospel. 
Pray for the religious officials promoting Christian Sinicization
