Description of the Area:
So you want to attend a worship service in China. If you pop into one of the state-run Three-Self Patriotic Churches you may find a nice reception. But try going to a church outside of the communist system and you risk arrest and detainment. Our Chinese brothers and sisters risk much more including torture, threats, eviction, and even death.
In 2008 alone, Bibles Unbound contacts reported more than 83 cases of Christians who were targeted because they took part in worship activities that were not under the umbrella of the state-run church.
And this type of persecution is only on the rise. But the Christian Church in China has not lost hope and neither should we!
Description of the Operation:
Even in the midst of religious discrimination, our contacts estimate the Chinese house church movement is growing at a rapid rate, currently reaching more than100 million members. All because Gods light can penetrate and shine through even the darkest places of our world!
You can help keep that light shining by joining our latest Bibles Unbound operation in China. Through this ministry you can help make sure New Testaments are placed in homes across China. We have already gathered names and addresses of people who need to know Jesus Christ personally.
Please prayerfully consider how you might be a part of this mission to spread the hope of Jesus Christ and expand his church inside China.
