Subject: SPEAK UP for the Chinese Church
I
Beloved of God,
This is a recent letters I wrote to my U.S. elected officials…I encourage all Christians to be united in praying and speaking out for the persecuted church of China.
HERE IS WHAT I WROTE:
March 18, 2010
Honorable Sutton, Brown and Voinivich;
I am writing to you to ask you to intervene if at all possible. It is my understanding that Chinese government continues to persecute those who desire to worship without fear, but in freedom. There are more than 50,000 members of the Linfen Church network in China that are suffering, Today after an unprecedented attack on one of their many branch churches.
In September 2009, Chinese authorities raided a branch of the Linfen Church in Fushan, demolishing buildings and injuring more than 100 church members. Weeks later, church leaders were arrested and sentenced to prison. Now the Chinese government plans to demolish the network’s flagship Church, the Jindengtang (Golden Lamp) Church building in Shanxi province. The church, which was recently constructed to house the Linfen network’s growing congregation, can seat as many as 5,000 people.
Can you help prevent the Chinese government from destroying the Golden Lamp Church building!
Our second amendment often cause controversy and debate in our Nation…but it gives us freedom of religion which all respect as a given Right to all people. The Chinese people are being denied this right and live in fear and now the Chinese government is destroying worship centers and imprisoning Christian leaders. This greatly disturbs me and should you as well.
Will you CALL OR WRITE to Chinese government officials. Remind them that Christians are NOT a threat to their country, but are in fact loyal Citizens who love their country and pray for their leaders.
