Chinese Leaders Forced to Live on the Streets

In an article from Christian Today we read the awful story about a Chinese couple who have been forced to live on the streets following repeated harassment and intimidation by government authorities.

One part of the article that stood out to me in particular is the following:

Officials say that the couple are being expelled from Beijing because “Bike Zhang met the Americans, and destroyed the harmony of the Beijing Olympic Games”, according to CAA, referring to his recent meeting with a US Congressional delegation.

“This egregious treatment of one of China’s most respected and well-loved house church leaders is a shocking and outright violation of basic human rights and rule of law,” said CAA president Bob Fu, in a statement.

“The acts against Pastor Bike Zhang and his wife are unjust and unlawful. This type of behavior exhibited by the CPC (Communist Party of China) is reflective of a dictatorship with no regard for the well-being of its citizens and not a world leader worthy of the honour of hosting the Olympic Games.”

This is why I want to urge you again to remember China in your prayers and also get the prayer band to remind yourself.
