WASHINGTON, D.C.--"For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." (NIV) The context for this passage in Matthew 18 speaks to methods of dealing with conflict among members of the church. It shows how to build the body of Christ by working together and holding one another accountable, through gathering and relying on one another. Last week, in the heart of the U.S. capital, a city renowned for its political heat and confrontation, nearly 3000 political, military, spiritual leaders and pastors from over 80 countries and across the United States including President Obama and the first lady, vice-president Joe Biden, Secretary Hilary Clinton and congressional leaders, gathered together for the Presidential (National ) Prayer Breakfast on February 4th.

Each leader carried heavy concerns on their heart and a diverse array of backgrounds and opinions, but these few hours gave them opportunity to stand together to break bread and live the spirit of Matthew 18:20. Embracing the opportunity for truth and fellowship, President of ChinaAid Bob Fu attended the event, and with the help of ChinaAid staff and contacts, brought heavy spiritual and humanitarian concerns on behalf of the Chinese people to the country's leaders.
