A few weeks ago I shared a video of some Chinese Christians praying for the coming 2008 Olympics to their land. I remember feeling touched in my spirit as I watched the video because if the Olympics were being held in America we wouldn't have to worry about being persecuted. We have so much to be thankful for here in America!
Yesterday according to the ChristianToday website, Release International has launched a petition to press China to halt the persecution of Christians who attend unregistered churches.
“Up to 100 million Chinese Christians are outside the official church. For some there is no church within reach, while many others cannot accept the restrictions imposed by the state,” says Release International’s CEO Andy Dipper. “They face arrest, torture and imprisonment, and the destruction of their church buildings.”
