Jesus Freaks: China

China has a "hard strike" policy. This policy is meant to crack down on organized crime and petty criminals, but it has put more Christians behind bars than are currently in prison in any other nation in the world today. Any Bible found by a Public Security Bureau Officer is instantly confiscated...even those approved and printed by the Chinese government. Recent statistics show that from 1983 to 2001 there were 23,686 Christian arrests in China for religious reasons, and of these, 208 have been beaten to the point of being crippled for life.

Despite all this persecution and suffering, an estimated 1,200 Chinese come to Christ every hour!

Let us pray for out brothers and sisters in China..that God may make them strong and give them courage to continue preaching and reaching souls for Christ.
