Religious Persecution

 Religious Persecution by Bill Keller

The religious persecution of ALL faith groups in China is a reality. Our brothers and sisters in Christ in China are being jailed, beaten, tortured, sentenced to decades in work camps, and killed...simply for being Christians. The Chinese government has declared that one Chinese Christian is one less Chinese. Ridding themselves of Christians is one of their means toward population reduction

While praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in China, I have also been discussing the fact of the Uighur Muslims in China. The Uighurs are a minority Turkic ethnic group originating from the general region of Central and East Asia. The government has systematically rounded up the Uighur Muslims living throughout China and put them in “re-education camps.” If this sounds familiar, it is basically the same thing Nazi Germany did to the Jews in Germany and in other European countries they invaded, ultimately sending them to camps like Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenbürg, and others.

In the liberation of Europe, the world became aware of the horrors that took place in these camps, including the extermination of six

(6) million Jews! Because of the iron fist rule of the Communist Chinese, we have little knowledge of what is happening in these re-education camps. Information coming out of human rights groups are chilling.

One common report is that the Chinese are killing healthy Muslims for their organs. No doubt we will one day know the truth of what is happening in these camps in China, but I ask you today to say a prayer, not just for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ, but these Uighur Muslims who are enduring grievous persecution.

Pray fervently that God will not only rescue the persecuted Christians and Muslims from their captivity but that He will also get the Gospel to these people.

Pray their liberation -- their PHYSICAL LIBERATION and their SPIRITUAL LIBERATION!
