Lack of support from the US church hurts underground believers in China
Washington, D.C. (February 11, 2010)–International Christian Concern (ICC) recently met with three leading Chinese Christian Human Rights activists and learned that the persecuted Church is facing increased persecution. The church there is desperate for vocal support from US-based churches and denominations.
“The American church has not spoken up. We have been waiting for their support, but we have heard nothing,” said one House Church leader.
“There are many cases of persecution that we are aware of. It is definitely on the increase, yet the American Church has said nothing,” said one Chinese Christian leader to ICC. Some high-profile cases have made American newspapers, but there has been no condemning statements released from major church organizations or leaders in the US. Read more at China Aid.
