Violent Christian persecution continues in China. The Voice of the Martyrs is reporting today that 80 church leaders were frisked, and stripped of their money while they were having a meeting at noon on March 13th. After these violations they were taken into custody by the Chinese Public Security Officials.
Unfortunately, one of the house-church leaders, Pastor Li Gongshe, was beaten by police and suffered a broken rib, which was treated at a nearby hospital’s emergency room.
On a positive note 36 house church leaders from Wen County were released within 24 hours of the raid, 24 of the arrested pastors from other counties are unaccounted for, as no information is known regarding their whereabouts.
Please remember those who are suffering unjustly in China for the name of Christ. Please also tell a a friend, and invite them to sign up to receive the monthly Voice of the Martyr's magazine.
