Oct. 1, 2019, marks the 70th anniversary of the brutal, Communist takeover of China.

 

Friday night, I received an anguished phone call, begging me to write about the state of the Christian Church in China. The caller (whose name or location I cannot divulge for her protection) was an attorney in China who had worked within Chinese court system. When she became a Christian, however, she realized that she could not compromise her faith and join the officially atheistic Communist Party, as all judges are expected to do in China.

 

She explained that three major house churches in her city are facing persecution in Guangdong (Canton) Province. One was forced to register with the Chinese government and accept the heavy risk of surveillance. The other two, which refused to register, are no longer allowed to gather together to worship. They have been disbanded. She pleaded with me to write about the persecution of house church Christians in China, specifically in Guangdong.

 

As I listened to this impassioned and heartbreaking account, I thought of the Christians in the catacombs in ancient Rome. The Christians in China are being driven into the catacombs. The Chinese dictatorship wants to persecute them in the dark. Thanks to the brave woman who called me Friday night, we are shining a light on the ugly truth of what is happening to religious believers in China.
