In 2017, a Chinese human rights lawyer had his secret memoir “Unwavering Convictions: Gao Zhisheng’s Ten-Year Torture and Faith in China’s Future” published in the United States. Since then, Mr. Gao was forcibly taken from his home in China. In April 2023, on Mr. Gao’s 59th birthday, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs held […]
From spring to winter, for more than 70 years, we, the people of China, have lived and are still living under a Communist regime. No freedom of speech. No freedom of religion. No freedom of assembly.

“If you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you (Matthew 17:20).” This is what is happening in China today – more and more Chinese are sowing this mustard seed and seeking the salvation of […]
The World Wide Life Organization (WWF) states “We should do everything we can to save the giant panda because we are the ones that have driven it to the edge of extinction. And because we can.” It is my firm hope that, for the people of the world, non-government house churches in China are as […]
Thousands of Chinese Christians in China recently were required to sign an official document (like a template) issued by the government. The document was a forced personal declaration or statement. In the first part of the form, Christians must declare their name, gender, address, number of identification card, the year in which they began to […]
