Pray for MMS in 60 Seconds - Chinese Church Under Siege It was reported in the Straits Times website quoting from a source in Beijing entitled, “Chinese Church Under Siege” on 18 Nov. “It was reported that relatives of a Christian pastor say police in the Central Chinese City have detained the religious leader and about 20 churchgoers in a crackdown on a state-backed church involved in a local land dispute. Pastor Zhang Shaojie’s relative said Monday that Zhang was taken away from his church Saturday by police who provided no identification or basis for the detention. Zhang’s son-in-law, Mr Sun Zhulei says police in Henan province’s Puyang city also took away around 20 others, including Zhang’s two sisters. The crackdown is unusual for a state-approved church. China’s communist government allows worship only in such churches, while unregistered congregations tend to be subjected to harassment. But church leaders have been involved in a land dispute with local authorities.” “Almighty Father, in Your understanding come to those who are being prosecuted when all around seems dark and uncertain, when their faith is low and they cannot feel You being near and hard to pray. Just as You came to Your disciples in the darkest hour of the night, let the light of Your presence dispel their fears, renew their trust, and bring peace to their hearts. Help them to hold firm to Your promises, to believe at impossibilities, and to know that all things are possible through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.” Thank you for praying with us!
