Three house church leaders in Taochuan village, Shaanxi province were also arrested on June 14 and given 10-day sentences for engaging in "illegal religious activities," according to a June 18 report from ChinaAid. The arrest of the leaders, one man and two women, is the latest in a series of actions to shut down the house church and confiscate the building. On June 2-4, members of the congregation were summoned to the police station where they were interrogated. On June 5, a public notice from the Luonan County Bureau of Religion was posted on the church's gate which stated that the church was abolished. However, the believers continued to gather for worship at the church's gate despite pressure and threats from authorities. Pray for the release of the imprisoned believers. Ask God to strengthen Christians in China to continue honouring Him at any cost. To find out more about China's suffering Christians, go to the China Country Report. |
