Why is persecution getting worse in China?
During the 1970s, Christians faced a clamp down in China. Under the strict Communist regime, churches were forced underground, followers of Jesus were targeted and Christian materials were banned. But the church grew massively. Since those times laws were relaxed, and China opened up to the world, so much so, that China now has one of the world’s largest Christian populations.
The growth and influence of Christianity is now a concern of the Chinese government again. Persecution in Asia has risen sharply over the last five years with one in three Asian Christians now suffering high levels of persecution. China has risen 16 places up the World Watch List from 43 to 27. New laws in China seek to control all expression of religion. Watch the video below to find out more…
Pray now…
- For the growth of believers from Muslim Uyghur and Tibetan Buddhist backgrounds
- For wisdom and love for Chinese Christians reaching out to atheists and Confucianists
- That Christ will reveal Himself to government officials who seek to control the church.
