Perhaps the greatest irony of our time is the concomitant growth in the Chinese Christian church with the steady decline and apostasy seen in the church in Europe and America.

Over 100 million Christians meet for worship in homes, caves, and fields around China, all under the threat of persecution in some form or another.

But they also face the 1 child policy, forced abortions, opposition to homeschooling their children, and prosecution of evangelistic efforts. These believers doggedly oppose the law, and many refuse to submit to the regulatory requirements of the state-governed 3 Self church. A man on the ground over there joins us in studio to give us a first hand account of the faith, the courage, the temptations, and the challenges facing our brothers and sisters in the house church movement in China.
