On 27th June, the meeting place of an underground Catholic church in Youtong, Hebei Province, was demolished by workers hired by the authorities. According to Dong, the bishop of the church, the authorities visited him before the demolition. During the visit, Bishop Don informed them that he had no intention to join the government-sanctioned official church.
Prayerfully uphold all believers in China who are courageously standing firm in their faith regardless of the consequences. Pray especially for those who have been arrested, imprisoned or harassed because of their faith. Pray that God will strengthen, protect, encourage and comfort them as well as their families and fellow church members.
Pray that the church will continue faithfully and boldly preaching the true message of the Gospel. And many who hear the message will believe in the Lord and receive salvation.
