Defend China’s Persecuted Christians

66,776

Signatures //

Christians in parts of China are continually facing increasing persecution.

The Chinese government has begun a massive crackdown on Christians. House churches throughout China face government harassment, intimidation, and mistreatment. Thousands have been forced to shut down.

Christians have been forcefully arrested and detained for months on end before finally being sentenced to harsh prison terms, simply for sharing the Gospel.

China has even banned the sale of Bibles online. It is banning children from going to church.

The Chinese government is trying to stop the spread of Christianity. This blatant persecution cannot be tolerated.

We’re working at the United Nations, addressing the severe persecution of Chinese Christians. They urgently need your voice.

We are working internationally to put pressure on China to stop persecuting Christians. We need YOU.

Chinese Christians have witnessed increasing persecution throughout their nation.

House Churches nationwide face harassment, intimidation, and domination from the government,
with thousands of church locations
being shut down.

The Chinese government is even using new regulations to push Christianity out of campuses

and Banning Kids from going to church.

The government is
aggressively advocating atheism
through both public education and social media.

One devout Christian in her mid 30s was forcefully taken away
by police when she was peacefully sharing the gospel with local Chinese in a
200-square-foot home.

After being detained for more than 400 days, she was sentenced to 13 Years in prison.

In 2017 alone, our contacts in China received and collected information on roughly
600 incidents of persecution targeting christians.

And those were just from our contacts.

After a mass crackdown on local Christian groups was launched
across Yunnan Province, China, 27 Christians were sentened
up to 13 years imprisonment for sharing the Gospel.

The accused Christians are either missionaries
or local believers. The alleged criminal conduct includes sharing the
Gospel, preaching, praying, and spreading "evil cult" related materials.

Sharing the gospel

Preaching

Praying

Spreading "evil cult"
related material

China will soon have the largest Christian population of any
country in the world. The persecution they face is unthinkable.

We must continue to advocate for religious freedom
On behalf of persecuted chinese christians.

You can help save chinese christians.
