Officials have taken into custody more than 100 members and leaders of Early Rain Covenant Church in a crackdown that began Sunday night.
Li, the elder, asked the global church to pray for them and to continue spreading the word. “Pray that God would give us the courage and the strength to deal with this persecution,” he said. “That those [in detention] would be a good witness, and that the church members wouldn’t compromise, but instead … they...
