Dear Friend,
Imagine receiving a text like this one: "You must preach this Sunday. There's nobody else to do it." With your pastor jailed for spreading the Gospel, access to digital worship banned, and your church shut down by the authorities, what choice do you have? Suddenly, in a country where living out your Christian faith in the open is increasingly illegal, your home turns into a secret haven for believers. And you, with only a basic grasp of the Scriptures, must now teach the Word of God. Communist "Sermons" Far-fetched? Not for Christians in today's China. Since 2018, a wave of growing religious persecution has swept through the country. Churches have been demolished. Pastors and leaders have been apprehended. Children and young people under the age of 18 are prohibited from entering a church building. Larger church gatherings (if possible at all!) are sometimes forced to preach Chinese communist doctrine instead of the Bible. New laws require Bible schools to make communist education the focus of at least 30% of their curriculum. Breaking these laws results in heavy fines and even dismissal. The official 'state' church is progressively forced to become a mouthpiece for the communist party. For this reason, Christians are increasingly meeting underground—in their homes.
