(ChurchLeaders) In a video released alongside a new report from International Christian Concern (ICC), Early Rain Covenant Church (ERCC) member Liao Qiang said that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is persecuting Christians by threatening to send their children to re-education camps and by forcibly removing children who have been adopted.
“The reason why we left China is because the Chinese Communist Party is limitless in its persecution,” said Liao, according to the Baptist Press. “They not only threatened us, normal adult, normal church members, but they threatened our children. Some of our members have adopted children, and [the government] forcibly sent the adoptive children back to the original family. That is the main reason why we fled China. Because we can’t guarantee our adopted child would not be taken away by them.”
