They hate you because of me - I received this press release today from China Aid:
JIANGSU – A Bible school run by Vice-President of the Chinese House Church Alliance (CHCA) Pastor Shi Enhao was raided on July 16 at 11:30 a.m. (Beijing time) in Suqian city, Jiangsu province. Pastor Shi and 11 students were taken to the Public Security Bureau (PSB) office and questioned. They were all released around 5 p.m. the same day. The students were sent back to their hometowns and warned not to come back for Bible study. The school is part of a Bible education school run by CHCA, and has been in existence for several years without any problems from authorities.
It's hard to imagine being told that you can't go to Bible school. Can you imagine here in America the FBI or say the Homeland Security Agency raiding your Bible study class on Wednesay? And then they tell you not to return again? Would you disobey that order?
China Aid offers this course of action if you would like to speak against this action taken against the school:
For further information on Christian persecution around the globe the Christian Persecution Blog is a good source.Contact the Chinese embassy on behalf of the Bible school and ask that students be allowed to study the Bible and worship freely.
