Today Mission Network News is highlighting this horrific story of the mass arrests of Christians in China. Here's part of the story.
China (MNN) -- Roughly 30 major house church leaders were arrested when they met with four American Christians in Xinjiang Province in western China.
Voice of the Martyrs' Todd Nettleton confirmed the China Aid Association report and gave us this update: "Some of the Chinese have already been released: eight of them. Six of them have been given criminal detention for 30 days. The four Americans, at last report, are being held at a hotel. We're still waiting to see what's going to happen with them. My guess is that they will be put on a plane for home and told not to return."
The arrested Americans include a senior pastor and an associate pastor of an American church. There are reports that the U.S. Embassy is intervening for this case.
