(christiansunite.com) - According to a January 30 report from China Aid Association (CAA), two members of a house church in Yunan province, Chen Xiqiong and Liang Guihua, were severely beaten by police officials on the morning of January 23.Xiqiong and Guihua walked into the Xishan District's Public Security Bureau office to request an account of the items, including Bibles, which were taken from the church and burned by police officials in early December. After ignoring the believers' request, officials forcibly removed them from the office.
Ms. Liang Guihua (54) was thrown against a wall and rendered unconscious for more than 10 minutes. After the assault, the Christians went to a local hospital for evaluation. According to CAA, Chinese government officials are resorting to the burning of Bibles in order to hinder the growth of house churches in China.
Ask God to heal these two believers. Pray for God to encourage and embolden Chinese Christians as they continue to serve Him by His grace (Philippians 1:29).
