Chinese Christians Kissing Their New Bibles!












A video has been surfacing online that was recorded by a missionary to China. It captures the emotion exuded by a group of Chinese Christians who obtained a copy of the Bible for the first time in their life.

The video shows a gathering of Chinese citizens opening a suitcase containing what appears to be dozens of copies of the Bible. When the suitcase is opened, “oohs” and squeals fill the air, and the Christians rush forward with much excitement to grab a copy.

The camera then captures several of the Christians kissing their Bibles and looking upon it in adoration.

A young woman speaks among the group, her tearful words being translated as, “This came to us through the blood and sweat of our brothers and sisters. This is the Book we really need at the present time. We really need this Book.” The video concludes with the Christians opening their Bibles and beginning to read.

“Share this video to awaken the church and make them value the freedom that we take for granted,” a description under the video states.


In China, the government regulates the production and distribution of Bibles, and therefore, many have never read the word of God for themselves due to a shortage of Scripture in the country. Missionaries have been smuggling Bibles into China for many years.


Here is one more video showing the passion of Believers in China. These Christians will change the world - not only their world...but ours as well!

Pray for Christians In Iran

Please go to this link and pray for our brothers and sisters in Iran - they are in trouble for...

...being Christians


Here are 11 out of the 12 who have been arrested - they were on trial on Easter Sunday - for multiple charges, one of which was the drinking of wine during communion.



Among the 12 are community leader the Rev. Matthias Haghnejad and his wife, Anahita Khadeimi. The others are Mahmoud Khosh-Hal and his wife, Hava Saadetmend, Amir Goldoust, Mina Goldoust, Zhaina Bahremand, Fatemah Modir-Nouri, Mehrdad Habibzade, Milad Radef, Behzad Taalipasand and Amin Pishkar
.

Please get the word out to pray for these. I believe that international pressure is all that keeps Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani alive. He has been in jail for over 2 years and has been condemned to death.

God seems to be doing great things in Iran - we need to pray for the Church there.

1 Peter 4:12-14
Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials
you are going through,
as if something strange were happening to you.
Instead, be very glad --
because these trials will make you partners
with Christ in his suffering,
and afterward you will have the wonderful joy
of sharing his glory
when it is displayed to all the world.
Be happy if you are insulted for being a Christian,
for then the glorious Spirit of God will come upon you.
