Their real “crime” was their cooperation with Chengdu’s persecuted Early Rain Church and signing a petition on its behalf.
The rental of premises where the service should be held on Sunday March 5 was cancelled on Saturday night, and the police prevented several believers from leaving home.
The door lock of Deputy Deacon Xiao Lubiao’s home was repeatedly damaged, and the police told them they should stay home on Sunday.
The decision confirms that in Xi Jinping’s China independent house churches will not be tolerated.
To extract testimonies proving that the leader of Early Rain Covenant Church was subverting state power, believers were reported to have been tortured and drugged.
A house church preacher, Luo Yao, was detained after posting a message on social media calling to pray for the arrested Pastor Wang Yi.
Repeated arrests of believers from Early Rain Covenant Church continue. The details of the beating of one faithful woman illustrate the extent of the injustice.
Churches and pastors across China gave support to Early Rain Covenant Church, and now they are targeted by the state.
One of the most prominent Chinese house churches is raided by CCP, with at least 80 arrested.
