Every month, over 400,000 people open Lectio 365 to pause and pray the Bible, morning, midday and night. In homes, workplaces and quiet corners of ordinary life, a shared rhythm of prayer is forming.
Lectio 365 now includes Simplified Chinese devotionals inside the app, making it accessible for Chinese-speaking communities around the world.
Lectio 365 is part of the wider 24‑7 Prayer movement, which exists to help people pray – not just occasionally, but as a way of life. From the start, this app has been shaped by a simple hope: that ancient rhythms of prayer might be rediscovered and prayed by ordinary people, in everyday places, across the world. Adding Simplified Chinese devotionals into the app is a meaningful step in that story.
Language shapes how we pray. For many of us, the truest prayers are found in the words that feel most familiar.
By offering Lectio 365 in Chinese, we’re making space for more people to pray Scripture in a way that feels natural, accessible and personal. As this rhythm is prayed in more languages, it becomes clear of what God is doing through Lectio 365. God is helping prayer develop a daily habit of prayer in his people, and is linking hearts to the same story of non-stop prayer.
Lectio 365 follows a simple pattern that goes back centuries:
These prayers have formed Christians across generations and continents. Today, they’re being prayed in new places, new contexts, and now in Chinese, as people spend time with God throughout the day.
This step reflects the heart of Lectio 365 and the wider 24‑7 Prayer movement: a vision of non‑stop prayer for the global Church.
Wherever you’re praying from, and whichever language you pray in, you’re part of this non-stop prayer movement. We’re praying that Lectio 365 will be a life‑giving resource for Chinese-speaking believers worldwide, and we especially hold in prayer the persecuted Church in China, as they seek God faithfully every day.
Daily Devotionals in Simplified Chinese are now live in the Lectio 365 app.
