4. Twenty one of China’s most prominent House Church leaders recently received sentences of re-education through labour ranging from one year and three months to three years by the Linyi City in the province of Shandong. They were accused of being a part of an “evil cult” which is a common charge against Christians who do not belong to the state-approved church. We pray for strength and perseverance for the leaders and comfort and support for the families and church members of the leaders.
