This is my shop. I sell tea here in the market. I don’t sell very much every day, but I sell enough to get by. Tea is an important part of our culture, and we drink lots of tea. But our village is poor, so few families can afford the more expensive tea leaves.

I work mostly by myself. I cannot afford to hire any help. I rarely am able to leave my shop. I am not able to visit the mosque often. I think Allah will understand I have to work.

Prayer Requests

• Pray for Christ-followers to visit market streets and shops. Pray that they would share truth and show love to all the shopkeepers.
• Pray for God to send church planters to live in Hui villages all over China.
