China’s Christians Defy Worst Persecution Since Cultural Revolution
Authorities raided the Early Rain Covenant Church’s Sunday worship near Chengdu on June 14, detaining dozens of believers, including elders and young children. The Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping targets crosses, Bibles, and leaders.
