Fine Doubles For Xunsiding Church Couple
Sadly, we learned officials doubled the fine against Xunsiding Church Pastor Yang Xibo and his wife Wang Xiaofei. They now owe about $55,000 for organizing religious activities. This brave couple wrote on social media how they would not pay, explaining "Thank God for allowing us to have a part in His affliction, and especially thankful that on earth we have no property for the court-enforced implementation, which is definitely a great grace of God.” Learn why Communist officials have persecuted this couple so harshly.
Pray for Pastor Yang and Wang, Xunsiding Church, and their persecutors.
New Task Force Against Guangzhou Church
CCP officials told Guangzhou Bible Reformed Church Pastor Huang Xioning that a task force was formed against the congregation. Four officials also questioned Pastor Huang about tithes and offerings within the church and said they wanted him to move away from Panyu District in Guangzhou. Here's how Pastor Huang ministered the Gospel to these officials despite their threats!
Pray for Pastor Huang, his family, Guangzhou Church, and their persecutors.
