Wang Xiaofei, the wife of Xingguang Church’s pastor, asked for prayer from her friends on the social media platform WeChat.  

Representative Foley says that Voice of the Martyrs Korea is calling on Christians to join in prayer on behalf of Xingguang Church.

Ask God to help them encourage one another and not lose heart,” says Representative Foley. “Pray for provision for those who have suffered loss and damage. As the opposition from the Chinese authorities continues to increase, pray that the Lord will give believers strength to withstand. 

On May 3, more than 100 law enforcement personnel raided a worship service held by Xingguang Church and beat Christians and onlookers, injuring several and taking several church members into custody 

“These two raids in the past two months show that the Coronavirus has not deterred Chinese authorities from continuing their harsh crackdown on house churches,” says Representative Foley. We must be even more relentless with our prayers than the authorities are with their attacks.

    하나님….이 부족한 종이 기도드리기 원합니다. 이 더러운 죄인이 기도 드리기 원합니다. 도와주시고 성도님들 붙잡아주세요. 제맘 다아시죠 주님. 저희들의 맘 다 아시죠
    도와주세요..주님!

      감사합니다. 핍박받는 성도님들의 신앙을 닮아감과 동시에 저희도 기도가 필요함을 느낍니다, 그들의 신앙을 닮기를 기도하기 원합니다.
