Back then, the Bible was strictly forbidden and few Christians were biblically educated. Those who were zealous for Jesus received long jail sentences. Now, the Bible is widely available, except for certain poor areas. Many urban Chinese churches have taken on the responsibility to bring the Bible to Christians living in rural areas. Lack of training also is not the case anymore. Most house church networks now have equipped pastors to teach new leaders at their own โBible schools.โ A few Christians are still behind bars for their faith, but the new generation of Christians has not experienced persecution. Today, Christians in Tibet and those living in Muslim communities are the most severely persecuted groups in China. Among Muslim minority group there are only a few thousand believers; among Tibetans, even less. They find themselves trapped between the restrictions of the Chinese and local governments, and the prejudices of their communities and their families. โThe area is very closed, and the church is small and immature. The environment is hostile for any Christian who wants to live out his faith. Finding ways to strengthen the Church is going to be difficult,โ shares an Open Doors worker in China. One With Them Brother Andrew has a word of encouragement for Chinese Christians. โChina has changed considerably since my first visit in 1965.The country was as closed as an oyster. Now the doors are wide open for the gospel. God has used our work to fuel one of the greatest revivals in human history. Searching for the most persecuted and helping them is not easy. There will be resistance. But if you pray in China, and we will pray in our countries, God will make it happen.โ One With Them CHALLENGE Prayerfully consider joining in the spiritual battle with those suffering for Christ. Open Doors offers weekly prayer alerts, as a means for you to stay connected with all those around the world who, like you, are children of the One True King. 2013.06.05 ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐จ๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ช๐ง๐๐๐๐จ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ค๐ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐๐๐ช๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ฃ๐.
