CHINA: House Church Pastor Says Church Still Growing

➕Resources

Highly restrictive religious laws. Surveillance cameras lurking around every corner. Police knocking on doors and raiding church gatherings. These are a few among the many challenges our persecuted family in China face each week.

Yet despite the communist government’s many attempts to control Christians, the church in China is still growing! Brother Enfu, pastor of an unregistered church, shares on VOM Radio this week the excitement of a growing Body of Christ and the challenges of leading an illegal church congregation.

As communist efforts to control and close down churches have escalated, large church gatherings have become almost impossible. This has led to many more meetings with smaller numbers of Christians, raising the need for trained leaders. Brother Enfu will share how Chinese Christians are meeting that need and help us pray specifically for God to raise up leaders within Chinese churches.

Brother Enfu serves as a leader in an underground Chinese seminary, training and encouraging pastors and their spouses to take on the challenges of leading a congregation. Graduates need to be equipped to lead their flock well and prepared for persecution, ready to face police questioning and even arrest. You’ll be encouraged as Enfu shares the story of five imprisoned church elders and the surprising report he received back of their sweet fellowship together and the spread of the gospel in the jail.

Listen as Brother Enfu shares how house church Christians work together in managing the risks of Christian ministry in a communist nation.

Pray men would be raised up to be godly leaders in their home and the church. Pray pastors in China would glorify God through their marriage and families. Pray our persecuted brothers and sisters in China will continue to fix their eyes on Jesus Christ, even in times of tribulation and suffering.

Super helpful presentation ! I’m encouraged and fortified by the way these Christians endure suffering and remain true to the task at hand . The LORD is glorified by the gladness springing up in their hearts for each little surprise blessing God bestows upon them . As His ambassadors their joy is multiplied through trials just as much as sweetness from periods of refreshment . God has everything under His perfect control .

Amen🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God only asks 70 years from us, but in return blesses those who serve Him, their lives a “living sacrifice”, with eternity✨ What a blessed reward for those who love Him❤️❤️❤️

I have friends in southern China that have house churches. One sister was arrested, and simply disappeared, assuming she was sent to a hard labor camp. She came back almost a year later and wouldn't say what the government did to her, but she IMMEDIATELY went right back to holding her house church services.
THEY ARE NOT AFRAID to suffer for their faith, yet in the United States people won't go to church unless they are given free coffee and a "feel good" night club church experience. Let that sink in.
The power of God is on the people in these house churches.
The power of God doesn't exist in the lazy American churches anymore.
