Announcement

Dear Friends:

It has been a year since we started to post everyday in both Chinese and English a case of persecution on Christians in China. We very much appreciate your visiting this website, which is void of happiness and fun, but full of persecution, bloodshed and doctrines of the Cross. We are grateful for your remembrance of those suffering great distress for the name of their (our) Lord. They have taken their own cross at the cost of lives. What should be pointed out is that the persecuted will rest and joy in God’s embrace. And we will be envious of them at the day of the final judgment, because they are loyal to the loving and just God.

Numerous brothers and sisters of the Chinese house churches have been enduring great tribulation in order to defend the NAME of the God, as true Christians should do. They can endure the temptations of the evil and the police used by Satan. They can endure the high-pressure electric batons, and all kinds of crude tortures. But their hearts are broken when facing the unbelievable indifference of the overseas’ “brothers and sisters”.

Surprisingly, most free Christians always claim that they do not have the “burden” for the chained ones. However, God did select some as His instruments after all. He put this burden in their prayers and conscience. And they have devoted themselves to this ministry to help those in chains. Without their devotion, the ministry would not have been able to accomplish any. China is a huge country. We can imagine what a difficult and dangerous task it is to investigate the persecution and smuggle all these cases to the United States! Processing and posting this vast information is another huge task. How much resources and manpower are needed in all these missions!

We have been praying that more brothers and sisters would be raised by our Lord with faith and encourage to shoulder the burden of helping the persecuted brothers and sisters, and become a partner in remembering, praying for, helping and visiting the persecuted. “The LORD is with me…What can man do to me?”

Thank you all again. May God bless you!
