November 10, 2010On Tuesday, November 7, 2010, kindergartens in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan were raided by the Public Security Bureau (PSB), accompanied by officials from education bureaus.Sun Haiping, wife of house church pastor Wang Dao, is in charge of the three schools. She is also part of the Chinese delegation, now in Washington, DC, focusing on democracy and religious freedom.“If this was a normal school inspection, the PSB would not have been there, and it would have been led by the Education Bureau,” she said on Tuesday. “The schools are at risk of being shut down.”During the invasions, PSB questioned teachers and children concerning where Sun was, and what her purpose was for traveling to the US. They also asked if the school owned Bibles or distributed them to students.According to Sun, the schools where raided by police because she is visiting the United States to speak about democracy and religious freedom. Sun’s generous actions in the aftermath of the Sichuan earthquake were applauded by authorities, but now she is being targeted for speaking about the freedom and justice that the Chinese constitution promises, but the authorities withhold from citizens.Please pray that Sun Haiping and Wang Dao will stay strong and faithful, and the children in these schools will be able to continue receiving quality education from these equipped believers.

There is one thing that is certain, the persecution that Christians undergo across the globe does not go un-noticed. It is even harder to keep it quiet in today's would because of the technology at our finger tips. Spreading the news of persecution has long been a driving force at Voice of the Martyrs for years.

House churches are a popular way to worship the Lord Jesus in America. They are also a popular way for believers to worship in China as well, but for completely different reasons.

Our good friends at China Aid are reporting on an event that I find deplorable, and must admit that I don't know how I would have handled the situation had it been me. But it reminds me that we can't necessarily prepare for such events but in fact our Lord supplies the need when they arise.

ChinaAidOctober 9, 2010 HENAN -- For simply practicing her faith, Zheng Yumei was arbitrarily sentenced to a year of re-education through labor at the Shibahe Women's Center in Zhengzhou, Henan in March 2010. She and three other members of Tianmiao Town Church in Yuchen County, Henan were accused of “belonging to a cult” and given unfair prison sentences. While imprisoned, Yumei has fallen seriously ill, and the administration at the women’s center refuses to provide medical care for her and insists that her treatment be funded by family members. Zheng Yumei’s husband, Liu Yunhua, was one of the other three also injudiciously sentenced to a year in a laogai facility in March, so he cannot pay for his wife’s medical needs. Liu Yunhua and fellow inmate Gao Jianli have been fighting a court battle ever since the sentencing. They sued the Shangqiu Municipality Committee in May in an attempt to clear their names and place a stop to the persecution.

Our good friends at China Aid are asking for prayer for the members of Changchunli Church because the members are being targeted. Please say a prayer for them today.
