There are calls for intercession for the heavy rains over the past few days that have caused damage in many areas of Guangdong.
According to Xinhua News Agency, four people have died and ten are still missing as a result of the rainfall. A total of 110,000 people have been relocated, and 25,800 people have been emergently resettled in the province until April 22.
Rain has been falling for more than a week since April 16. Several hydrological stations in the main stream and tributaries of the Beijiang River have been on alert, mainly in Shaoguan, Qingyuan, and Zhaoqing City.
On April 20, Guangdong issued a warning that the Lianjiang River would experience a 50-year flood. The next day, it issued a warning that the Beijiang River would encounter a near 100-year flood.
As heavy rains are still continuing, the following intercessions are requested:
1. The affected people in Guangdong would be protected without any more casualties.
2. The flood-stricken people can be provided with supplies they need.
3. The people can be properly resettled, with the safety of disaster relief personnel who have stepped forward to participate in the rescue in crisis.
4. More people will reach out and help those stricken by the disaster.
5. The heavy rainfall weather will be over soon, the warning level will drop, and the flood waters will recede as soon as possible.

连日强降雨导致广东多地受灾，呼吁代祷。
据新华社消息，降雨已造成4人死亡，仍有10人失联。22日为止，广东省已累计转移群众11万人，紧急安置2.58万人。
自4月16日以来，广东持续降雨近一周时间，北江干支流多个水文站出现超警戒水位，主要集中在韶关、清远、肇庆市北江干支流。
20日，广东发出连江将现50年一遇洪水预警。21日，广东发出了北江流域将现接近百年一遇洪水的预警。
强降雨还在继续，呼吁基督徒弟兄姐妹们为广东献上代祷：
1.为广东求平安，为受灾民众的人身安全祷告，在洪水中得到保护，不再有人员伤亡。
2.为有足够的物资祷告，受灾的民众得到所缺乏的供应。
3.为有关部门的救灾工作祷告，民众得到妥善安置；救灾人员在危难中挺身参与救助，愿他们都平安。
4.为在灾难中，更多人伸出援手帮助受灾的群众祷告。
5.祷告强降雨天气快快过去，警戒水位尽快下降，洪水退去。
紧急代祷：广东省多地暴雨 举起守望的手
