We pray constantly for more workers to take the good news to the Hui. There are millions of Hui scattered across the entire country of China. Almost all of them have never had the opportunity to accept or reject Jesus as their Lord. As we look at the statistics and plan strategies we always come back to one main conclusion. We need more workers.
My coworker and I had lived in China just a few months before meeting a local sister who would eventually become our closest national partner. After a few months of personally discipling her, during which we shared our burden to reach the Hui with the Gospel, she offered to introduce us to her pastor. We excitedly agreed to meet with him. Hanging on the walls of his office were many maps: one of our city, one of China, and one of the Middle East. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that the pastor himself had a heart to reach Muslims.

We believe God is calling churches, families and individuals to engage the Hui by adopting an unengaged, unreached population segment among the Hui. There are thousands of cities, villages and rural areas where today no one is proclaiming the Gospel to the Hui communities in the area.
Pray4Hui.com provides stories and prayer requests to guide churches around the world as they pray for God’s saving power to be known among the Hui people. As people and churches pray for God to send workers into His harvest among the Hui, it is likely that some if not many who are praying begin to wonder how they can partner in proclaiming the Gospel among the Hui.
Engaging the Hui is a significant commitment for any church to make. Helping a church to fulfill this calling is also a large commitment for field workers. However, these partnerships are vital for advancing the Gospel among this people group. We believe a partnership covenant is an important step to ensure that both parties are committed and focused on making the relationship work.
As a church puts together an advocacy team focused on engaging the Hui, it’s important for that team to research and learn as much as they can about the Hui and the work already being done among them. To help teams, we will host Hui summits. These summits will be 2-3 days and cover a variety of topics:
