But how will these developments\u2014and the recent elevation of President Xi Jinping to what is essentially a permanent presidency\u2014mean for our Christian brothers and sisters? Bob Fu, founder, and president of China Aid, will explain how Chinese Christians are affected by these things, and how they are responding. In Xi\u2019s first 10 years in power, religious freedom has been under constant assault\u2014including within China\u2019s state-sanctioned, registered churches. Christians in China know there will be more persecution in the years to come. Our Christian family in China, both young and old, face the decision to either renounce faith in Jesus or have their future taken away from them. How are they preparing themselves, and especially young believers, to withstand that persecution? Listen for the story of one Chinese Christian woman in prison who said, \u201cI only began loving the Lord when you arrested me.\u201d Bob will also give listeners an update on two pastors in jail, Pastors Wang Yi and John Cao, and how they are continuing to serve the Lord and grow in faith\u2014even through their incarceration. Pray for rulers and authorities in China, imprisoned believers, the millions of people in China, and for God\u2019s Word to be available to those in this restricted nation. You can write letters of encouragement to brothers and sisters imprisoned for their faith. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio! Subscribe to the podcast."}
