Would you spend a few minutes every day to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in China who are now suffering intense persecution for following Jesus.
On 30th December 2020, a Bible study conducted in the home of Pastor An Yankui of Xuncheng Reformed Church in Taiyuan was interrupted by 3 dozen men who barged in without warning. Pastor An’s home was searched. Choir robes, hymnals and Christian books were confiscated.
Pastor An and 5 Christian women were taken into custody. Three women were later released by Pastor An was sentenced to 15 days in jail. This is not the first time the Xuncheng Reformed Church has faced opposition.
Pray for the safety of Pastor An and members of Xuncheng Reformed Church. Pray that they will not be disheartened by the repeated harassments. Pray that they will remain firm in their faith and the testimonies of God’s love and grace in their lives will draw others to the Lord.
Pray for many other Christians who are presently serving time in Chinese prisons. Pray that they will find strength and hope in the Lord always in every circumstance. Pray for their release.
