(Premier Christian News) A joint prayer network in Beijing has been shut down by the Chinese state authorities. The Beijing Ministerial Joint Prayer Network (BMJPN) was founded in 2004 by Pastor Jin Mingri, out of one of the largest house churches in the capital, Shouwang Church.
Pastor Mingri became known for gathering pastors together and praying to revival in his highly persecuted nation. International Christian Concern reports that while the network was based in Beijing, pastors from all over the country were involved in the movement. Now, after being ordered to cease its operations, ICC says that many pastors who are part of the network have been summoned to local religious affairs bureau for interrogation.
