Proof The Bible Is True

“A look at how God is moving in the Chinese church.”  Admin

Open Doors OD fieldworker Sheng recently visited a group of a hundred church workers who belong to a major Christian network in China. He was deeply touched by what he encountered. “They have little to no information on the persecuted church, but they pray day and night.”

As the Chinese church experiences increasing levels of religious freedom, one of OD’s major projects is creating awareness among the Han Chinese – the Han people group represents 90% of the Chinese population – about the persecuted church around the world. Sheng’s visit to this group in China was a part of the awareness campaign. “My meeting with them gave me a lot of new insights,” says Sheng. “We work with five levels of awareness—informed, interested, inspired, involved and incorporated. However, what I discovered is that there are many church leaders in China who already pray for the persecuted church, even though they have little to no information to help them pray. I realized that many would be willing to risk their lives for their persecuted brothers and sisters, but they have no idea how to get involved.

“The group Sheng met was a clear example. “They knew so little about the persecuted church. However, I could see a God-given determination in their eyes. And they said: ‘We are called to pray’. So every month, they pray and fast for two days. They have also carefully selected prayer warriors who form a 24/7 prayer chain for a particular country God has placed on their heart, even though they virtually know nothing about it. Usually, they gather in groups and pray for a couple of hours. They say that the more they pray for this country, the more they start to love it. For them, it feels like they are supporting their real family members in this way.”
