Welcome to FEA where we are holding forth the Word of life. May the life of God come into your heart and your world today.
Chinese students attending a Christian house church in the central Guizhou province are being threatened by government authorities who are warning them that if they don’t stop going to the church, they will be barred from going to college. This notice was sent to all schools in the area. The house church members have also reportedly been pressured into signing a document vowing that they will not take children into the church. Additionally, parents have been told that they will be sued if they take their children to church, while the children themselves will not be allowed to take the college entrance exam or be admitted into the army.
There are also other disturbing reports. China Aid reporter said that students at Zhejiang Theological Seminary are now being forced to submit to the Communist Party, even to the extent of putting the state ahead of God. Meanwhile, Churches in the Pingyang County have been told to hand over all of their tithes and donations to government officials. One local Christian man said that government officials interfere in church affairs and seek to manage the donations that churches receive, as well as their long-term projects.
However, despite the increasing persecution of Christians in China, The Christian Post is reporting that the communist country is on track to having the largest population in the world by the year 2030, should Jesus tarry so long. According to Rodney Pennington, vice president for mobilization of OMF, a mission’s organization, “By 2030, China will almost certainly have the most evangelical Christians, and will greatly shape the global evangelical church in the coming years.”
We are indeed saddened over the persecution in China. But the prospect of over 200 million Chinese Christians by the year 2030 is very encouraging. It gives us greater motivation to pray for the Church in China. Let us not fail to do so.
