Save The Persecuted Christians brings you news of anti-Christian violence in today’s SaveUs Minute

In the midst of a campaign by the Chinese Government to “Sinicize” religion and demand unswerving loyalty to the Communist Party, Chinese Christian leaders have declared instead their loyalty to Jesus Christ with a public statement signed by 279 leaders affirming religious freedom and issuing a call to repentance and salvation.

Their concluding statement is a sober one, “For the sake of the gospel, we are prepared to bear all losses—even the loss of our freedom and our lives.”

Bob Fu, founder and president of ChinaAid, warns that China is waging “the most severe systematic suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedom was written into the Chinese constitution in 1982.”

Faith McDonnell with the Institute for Religion and Democracy reports that once before, in 1998, Chinese Christian leaders bravely signed a joint statement of faith while in the throes of intense persecution.
