About this episode

Bob Fu discusses the persecution of Christians in China, including updates on Pastor Wang Yi and John Cao, and the implications of new criminal charges against Christians.

As U.S. President Donald Trump flew home from Beijing after meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping, we recorded this timely VOM Radio conversation with Bob Fu, founder and president of China Aid , to provide a current update about our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in China. Chinese Christians are facing a new criminal charge for training up children in God's Word. Such Christians were recently charged with violating the "administrative management law." The government alleges these Christians are training children to undermine the government; authorities see teaching the Bible as a national security violation. Bob also provides an update on 18 Zion church members arrested in recent months. The lawyers representing the accused Christians were forced to leave, shutting down their law firm and intimidating other attorneys from defending Christians. Bob will provide updates to help you pray for Pastors John Cao and Wang Yi . He will share current news, including a cancer diagnosis, and how they continue to serve the Lord despite government control and imprisonment. You'll hear more about China's social credit system and how it is affecting believers' ability to travel…
