Persecution of Christians in China is still very real. One member of our team was beaten by police and had his boxes of Amazing Facts books confiscated. Of course, we are also restricted from open evangelism through television and radio. Yet despite a repressive government, as the apostle Paul said, “The word of God is not bound” (2 Timothy 2:9).
And I firmly believe there will come a time soon when the doors will open up—and the Chinese government will allow Christian TV, radio, and public evangelism. When those doors do open, I want us to be ready!
Many believers in China are right now desperately looking for tools and resources to help them grow in the faith. Although they cannot get Bible teaching on the radio or on TV, they can watch and listen to our programs on the Internet and through DVDs and books!
That means we have a great open door for us to reach tens of millions of people with the truth of God’s Word about Jesus and the end times.
If present trends continue, our Amazing Facts website at qimiaozhenxiang.com will receive one million visits from hungry hearts in China this year. They are already downloading everything they can get their hands on—Bible studies, videos, and the Final Events documentary.
Faithful Souls Standing for Truth
And make no mistake: The people we are hearing from are very serious about their faith—they have to be! For these brave believers, taking a stand for their faith can literally be a matter of life and death.
After our first contact with “Mei Ling,” she called us to say, “I can’t find a church in my area that keeps the Sabbath. I’m very sad and don’t know what I should do.”
We prayed with her and told her about more resources online, such as the Final Events video, which would give her a good understanding of the future. A few days later, she said, “I didn’t go to church on Sunday. My house has a hair salon. Can we close the doors on Sabbath and study together at my home?”
We replied, “Of course you can close shop on the Sabbath—read your Bibles, pray, and watch videos on our website! God loves you and will bless you.” The next Sabbath, this faithful dear lady and a small group of believers gathered in that little salon to fellowship, study, and worship! What an amazing testimony of courage and faith in action!
Missionaries Together
This wonderful story reveals the real impact that your support of Amazing Facts is having on so many lives of people who need us. Because of your help, we are able to have a small team be there for them on the ground and also through video resources, the Internet, printed material, and, of course, in many other countries on television and radio.
None of this would be possible without you.
