Authorities harass Early Rain Covenant Church members as they evangelize on the street.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mother chose to name her son Abel after the Biblical figure who was murdered by his own brother,\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

representative Foley explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cJust as Abel was murdered by Cain, this mother\u2019s Abel was killed as a result of the Cain-like senseless brutality of the CCP.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] After the loss of her child, this mother wrote a poem titled, \u201cOn the Way.\u201d In this poem, she expressed that Abel was taken to heaven by God and that everyone else (including her) are on the way to visit him.
\n\u201cAbel was 2019\u2019s first Chinese Christian martyr,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

representative Foley says.<\/p>\n

\u201c2018 began with persecution looming on the horizon and now 2019 has begun in the midst of that heavy persecution. And yet the Chinese church stands strong.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Representative Foley encourages the Korean church to stand strong alongside their Chinese brothers and sisters, not only in prayer but in material support.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina\u2019s crackdown on the church has pulled parents away from their children, denied higher education for Christian children, and caused the death of child and parent alike. Unlike Cain, the Korean church must understand that we truly are our brother\u2019s keeper and that we are responsible for supporting our Chinese brothers and sisters during this dark hour.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
