Please pray for China every day, and especially for those who are serving our great and glorious King the Lord Jesus Christ in China. Sadly, we have another report from our friends at The China Aid Association saying that over 60 house church leaders have been detained and at least two South Korean pastors.
The article says, "Police took away all the personal belongings of the Christians, including money, cell phones, books, bags and daily necessities. They did not give the house church leaders receipts for confiscated items. Police forced each person to register and to pay a fine. Police then released some elderly believers."
The reason they were arrested for “engaging in illegal religious activities”.
