Once again we have come together to celebrate Jesus our Savior, our Lord and our King. Let us do it in grand style.

Hangzhou’s Chongyi Church, the largest government-sanctioned church in China, has asked Christians everywhere to pray for their Pastor, Rev. Gu Yuese. Pastor Gu was arrested in January and jailed for protesting the removal of church crosses in China. China Christian Daily published a press release last weekend which included a prayer list. It requested of people to pray that God would help Pastor Gu to keep the faith in his adversity, standing firmly in the trials of the cross.

Late last week, China Aid reported that the pastor has been placed under “residential surveillance in a designated location,” otherwise known as a black jail. Communist Party officials have ordered the removal of hundreds of church crosses across China in a massive crackdown throughout several provinces in the country. Pastor Gu’s arrest is a clear indication that the most prominent church leaders in China will not be allowed to stand in the way of this initiative. The government is claiming that the crosses are being removed over building code violations. However, several watchdog groups, including China Aid and International Christian Concern, have said that the crackdown has more to do with the government’s uneasiness about the rapid increase of Christianity in China.

China Aid founder and president, Bob Fu had the following to say about Pastor Gu’s arrest, “His arrest marks a major escalation in the crackdown against those who oppose the forced demolition of crosses. He will be the highest-ranking national church leader arrested since the Cultural Revolution.”

The responsibility is ours to pray for Pastor Gu. Let us pray that this imprisonment of his would have a similar effect like Paul’s; that it would result in the furtherance of the gospel throughout China. Let us pray that because of this the Kingdom of God would expand in a way such as they have never seen it before in China.
