Pray for Chinese Christians!
The Olympics are racing towards us and the Chinese Christians. Many are suffering while the police are cracking down.
Just on July 2, prominent house church leader, Hua Huiqi and family were thrown out of their apartment. Public Security Bureau (PSB) officers led by Yng Jian smashed through the door and pushed the family, including Hua’s 90 -year-old father, out into the street with their furniture.
The Chinese government has expressed it intentions of detaining Hua and other’s like him until after the Games are done. The government doesn’t want Christians going to the Games because they are supposed “troublemakers”.
