China is the world's most populated country with over 1.3 billion people, 637.5 million of which are women.
* For centuries, Chinese families without sons feared poverty and neglect. The male offspring represents continuity of lineage and protection in old age.
* The age-old bias towards boys, combined with the one-child policy imposed since 1980, has produced the largest, the highest, and the longest gender imbalance in the world. The male surplus rose to 120 boys for each 100 girls.
* Predictions for the next decade are that some 40 million Chinese men will be unable to find wives due to the "scarcity" of females as a result of kidnapping, trafficking and selective abortions.
* Women, who are up to 9 months pregnant with their second or third baby, may be taken to the hospital by regional population control officials for induced abortions.
PRAY: God created man in his own image...male and female he created them. Gen. 1:27
* God created man and women equal, pray that God would reveal this truth to the Chinese culture.
* That China woull stop its one-child policy
* That lives would be valued in new measure
