TIME.com - Rising Protestant Church Attracts Ire of Chinese Authorities
Time reports: "Every Sunday at 8:30 a.m. sharp, you see them coming to the unwelcoming square in the middle of the university neighborhood in Beijing. Skinny young girls dressed in jeans and wearing ponytails, elegant couples in their 40s, distinguished men who look like retired teachers: they all gather here with a funny mix of hesitation and bravery on their faces. Minutes later, antiriot police intervene and arrest them without encountering any resistance. On the bus that takes them to the police station, they open their prayer books and start singing liturgical songs."

Comment: Wow, what a powerful witness. Please join me in praying for the persecuted church in China. And I know that this report is mostly about persecution, but if you read the entire article will also see that it's about the powerful spread of the gospel in that officially atheist country and it ends with an amazing (and hopeful) prediction for the future of the church in China.
