Nangang Church destroyed one year ago
About a year ago on January 11th, 2023, Communist officials forcibly destroyed Nangang Church during the night as police confronted, harassed, beat, and arrested Christians! Officials destroyed the church to take the 8-acre property to construct commercial buildings.
Please keep praying for this church and if the Lord leads, partner with them so they can keep renting space for worship and Sunday School without a permanent building.
Pray for all Nangang Church members and for their persecutors.
