(CBN News) The next wave of persecution against Chinese Christians has escalated as government officials are now forcing house churches to join the Three-Self Church which is run by the state.
Bitter Winter reports that authorities in Ninghai county raided a church because the director refused to join the official church. They damaged sections of the church and took down a cross from the building’s roof.
Congregants were told that 27 additional church buildings throughout the area would have their crosses removed.
