Our ChinaAid team just released a new 'Crime of Fraud' report covering one of the Chinese Communist Party's most brutal persecution tactics.
In an effort to crush the house church movement, officials are deeming tithes and offerings as financial 'fraud' to justify harsh and excessive prison sentences for 'economic crimes.'
As part of a continuing strategy to criminalize Gospel-focused house churches, the Communist Party often claims
1. The collection of tithes and offerings is considered fraud, because house churches are 'illegal clergy'
2. Church pastors are defrauding Christians and are scammers.
3. That pastors are giving themselves an excessive salary. Officials use these lies to fabricate 'fraud' charges against church leaders.
Our team believes it's vitally important the global community of policymakers, human rights leaders, activists, and citizens who stand for freedom across China understand this abusive, new wave of persecution.
And stand united in opposing the Communist Party's attempts to judge the Biblical principle of tithes and offerings as fraud.
Please read and share the persecution examples within our new 'Crime of Fraud' report, and pray for these faithful Christians and house churches mentioned within our report who are enduring unjust persecution.
Thank you for standing together with the pastors & members of Chinese house churches!
A partnership today with ChinaAid ensures the Crime of Fraud report reaches decision-makers who rely on our research to actively petition for the protection of Christians across China.
Serving the persecuted with you,
Bob Fu, ChinaAid President & Founder
