Putian people are often stereotyped by other Chinese as heroic and athletic people. Many of China's best track and field stars come from Putian. Though most live in China, they are also in Singapore and Malaysia.
The Yuan (Mongol) Dynasty (1271-1368): In 1213 the Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, broke through the Great Wall which had been designed to prevent them from entering China. The Mongols swept all opposition before them, winning more territory than any other kingdom in the history of the world. Their realm stretched from Southeast Asia to Hungary in Europe. The Mongol armies were brutal, killing and plundering unmercifully wherever they went.
Most likely, the Putians live the same kinds of lives as other Han Chinese in Malaysia. Many are in private business.
The implementation of Communist policies resulted in a ban on all religious activity across China between 1966 and 1976. Thousands of temples, mosques, and churches were smashed to the ground, and believers were forced to practice their faith in secrecy.
The Putian church needs to be revived and purified.
Pray for Putian Chinese disciples to disciple others.
Pray for Putian Chinese churches to exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit, drawing others to the Lord in Malaysia.
Pray for the Lord to abundantly provide for the Putian Chinese as a testimony of his goodness and power.
