(CBN News) – Chinese officials raided a major underground church for the third time this winter. It’s part of the country’s latest crackdown on Christians. The South China Morning Post reports that 60 police officers and officials stormed Rongguili Church in Guangzhou last week during a children’s Bible class. “Halfway through the children’s Bible class, we heard the footsteps of dozens of police and officials stomping up the stairs,” a Rongguili church member posted on social media.
“They read out law enforcement notices declaring our venue was an illegal gathering [that had engaged in] illegal publishing and illegal fundraising and confiscated all Bibles.” Authorities recorded the identities of the worshippers and confiscated cell phones. “They then verified our identities again and warned us not to return [to the church] before letting us go,” the church member said.
