One of the things the new World Watch List shows is that persecution against Christians in China is rapidly increasing. In the last three years, China has jumped from #43 to #17 in the ranking of the most severe places to be a Christian.Many churches have been forced to close down, surveillance cameras are monitoring registered Christian activity and some believers have been sent to ‘re-education camps’. It’s illegal for under 18s to attend church activities or services.But in many places, the church is adapting, going underground and finding new paths to flow along and move down. Pray this today for the church in China:Lord God, we are amazed at the astonishing growth of the Chinese church over the years, despite persecution. Give Christians a renewed sense of the wonder, power and love of Jesus, that it will strengthen and boldly galvanize their faith and witness. Provide leaders and buildings for churches, and unleash a wave of creativity so churches continue to thrive. May we yet see more tremendous growth of the church in China. Amen. -- source link
