What China's Persecuted Church Can Teach Us

Christians in China face surveillance, arrest and imprisonment for refusing to place the Communist Party above Jesus Christ. ChinaAid founder Bob Fu joins Peter Demos to explain what their courage reveals about faith, government authority and the true cost of proclaiming the gospel. Bob participated in the 1989 Tiananmen Square movement and later served as a house church leader in Beijing. After he and his wife were imprisoned for what authorities called illegal evangelism, they came to the United States as religious refugees and founded ChinaAid. In this conversation, Bob describes the growing pressure on independent and government-sanctioned churches. He also explains why believers continue sharing the gospel even when a visitor could be a government informant. Their mission is not governed by safety. It is governed by Christ's command. The discussion challenges American Christians to value constitutional protections without treating them as the source of religious freedom. Our rights come from God, and our ultimate confidence must remain in Him.
