If You See A Dragon Pray for China…

I love teaching kids to prayer using spot prayers. For example, if you see an ambulance pray for the people inside it. Now, since I really would like the Hoods to have a prayerful concern for people around the world – I try and associate something with a country…

Meanwhile, we are all holding our breathe waiting for the Olympic Games to begin, so lets pray for China. What could be more relevant to China than a dragon.
