* Worshippers were taken from their homes and off the streets in coordinated crackdown across Chengdu in Sichuan province
* A pastor was among those arrested
About 100 worshippers at an unofficial church in southwestern China were snatched from their homes or from the streets in coordinated raids which began on Sunday evening.
Chinese authorities targeted members of the Early Rain Covenant Church across various districts of Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, in what appeared to be an effort to close down one of the country’s most prominent Protestant house churches.
Members’ personal accounts and cell group discussions on social media channels were blocked at around 9pm on Sunday while the church’s telephone line was also cut. The homes of the church’s leaders, including pastor Wang Yi, were among those raided.
Zhang Guoqing, assistant deacon of the Early Rain Covenant Church, was among two church members who were released on Monday morning after his arrest by Chengdu police in the Sunday night raids.
He is now being watched around the clock by “security personnel” in his home.
Zhang said he headed to Wang’s home at around 7pm on Sunday after hearing about the raids but the pastor and his wife Jiang Rong were nowhere to be found.
“His home was ransacked. It was a mess,” Zhang said.
“The police said our church is an illegal organisation and we cannot attend any more gatherings from now on.”

Well, if it it had been 100 LGBT types, then the shit would have really hit the fan. Christians? Adios, amigos.

Agreed. And don’t forget the pope recently selling out Chinese Catholics to the communists, letting them pick the leaders of the Catholic church in China.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. BTTT.
They’ve been targeting Muslims too, I haven’t heard anything from Muslim countries. I don’t hear anything from our congress about this. Saudi kills one political dissenter, and our congress wants to quit doing business with them. China kills people every day, and crickets from the world.
I would imagine Google has given the Commies the coordinates of every single Conservative American for future round-up.
And our ISPs.
It’s hard to round up people who shoot at you.
I’m divorced with no children. IDGAF anymore. I’m dying free one way or another. I’d prefer it be in a bed at old age, but too many people bled and died for my liberty and I’ll be damned if I disrespect their sacrifice. Google can KMA. And I’m still using Gmail and YT; they know who I am and can come and and get some whenever they want.

MSM will be all over it if they use it against President Trump.
Wrong. Liberals don't care what Communist or islamic countries do to homosexuals. The fact that they're Communist or islamic gives them a pass.
As a matter of fact, the liberals don't care what Communists do to moslems.
Good luck to them.
If they’re smart they’ll put a Hellfire into my balconies sliding glass door.
