Bob Fu tells how persecution against Christians in China is growing, but so is the church!

Rev. Bob Fu, Ph.D, was a former student leader during the Tiananmen Square democracy movement in 1989. In 1993, he graduated with a law degree on international relations from Renmin University of China in Beijing. He was a faculty member at the Beijing Party School of the Chinese Communist Party from 1993-1996.  He was also a house church leader in Beijing until he and his wife, Bochun "Heidi" Cai, were imprisoned in 1996. In 1997 he was exiled to the U.S. In 2002, he founded ChinaAid in Philadelphia to promote religious freedom and rule of law in China. He graduated with Ph.D. from St. John's College at the University of Durham in the U.K in the field of religious freedom. His autobiography, God's Double Agent, was published in 2013 by Baker Publishing Group. His academic book The Politics of Inclusive Pluralism was published in 2021. Bob regularly testifies and briefs foreign policymakers and legislators on religious freedom, foreign policy, national security, and rule of law as well refugee issues in the free world. Bob Fu is a recipient of William Wilberforce Award by the Colson Center (2020-2021).  In 2022 he received the "Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Award" by the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative. He is a consultant to both the Heritage Foundation and Family Research Council. He is a life member of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Editor-in-Chief of the Chinese Law and Religion Monitor journal. In this podcast, Bob describes how the persecution against Christians in China is the worst it has ever been, with many followers of Christ there being tortured and imprisoned merely for following Jesus and sharing His Gospel with those who do not yet know Him. He also describes the ministry he has begun ChinaAid.org that offers help to the persecuted church in China. Yet, despite persecution, the church in China has been growing rapidly as non-believers there are drawn to Christ as they see real Christians willing to sacrifice so much for our Lord. It is the hope of Bob that the same will happen in America!
