Hong Kong
The political and government changes from 2020 onwards, the failure of the protests to achieve the liberties dreamed of by many young people, and the fast-track migration programmes of countries like the UK and Canada together have generated conditions for Hong Kong to experience yet another historic mass exodus. While the educated and wealthy will be able to thrive elsewhere, millions more are “stuck” in a context ever more under the PRC’s direct control. While the choice to migrate is understandable, pray that many believers will stay to continue the work of the Kingdom and to be a witness to Jesus. There is much ministry to be done in and from Hong Kong!
