Underground Chistians and Faith in China
Christianity In China

A new generation of Chinese is learning that there's more to life than making money. Chinese Christians are risking arrest to practice their faith. They tell Barry Petersen why.
(CBS) Kids are singing about Baby Jesus sleeping in the hay. They look like children performing for their congregation, but to the Chinese authorities, they are criminals because they're at an underground "house" church.
It's called that because they meet without state approval, CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen reports.
The church let CBS News in to take pictures that show both faith and defiance, while the congregation was brave enough to share their stories of what happens when the government finds the faithful.
"The police called us evil and arrested us for illegal assembly," one woman explains.
Chinese-born American Dr. Sam Chao works in China for religious freedom and researched the dangers faced by underground church worshipers.
"I interviewed about 40, 50 people; every one of them (was) beaten and jailed and harassed and beaten on the body," says Chao, Director of China Ministries International.
When Mao Tse-tung took power, he banned religion. Communism was the new faith. These days, the state allows churches, but worshippers must register with police. And yet, there are many young people worshipping.
"They've grown up in a society where the moral imperative is to make money and get ahead, and that doesn't take you very far," says Ken Lieberthal, a China expert at the University of Michigan.
People in Beijing are discovering perhaps a simple truth: Money alone is not bringing happiness. Hundreds of millions — and more each day — are seeking something more.
So even traditional eastern religions like Buddhism are flourishing again. But none like the underground Christians.
In one village, they were even building their own church … until the authorities knocked it down.
In China, it was once easy to know what to believe in — the Communist Party. Those days may be gone for good as a new generation learns how to find and keep its own faith.

Daily Manna From The Net!
Daily Manna from the Net for Saturday, July 4, 2009 [Revelation 22:12-17]
'Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 'Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 'I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.' The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!' Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. Revelation 22:12-17 NIVEvents

China Revival in 2009!
中國福音化
五十年來，中國大陸的信徒從不到100萬（1949）遽增到八千萬（2000），這是中國五千年來難得的宣教黃金時期；在中國教會裡，也普遍呈現「羊在找牧人」的現象，上帝為中國敞開了大門！現在就是「中國福音化」的關鍵時刻！
教會國度化
教會是基督榮耀的身體，是一切事工的根柢。今日世界各地的基督教宗派都去中國宣教，如何促使海外教會超越宗派主義，中國教會突破山頭主義，共同營造具有「國度觀」的宣教事工，將是中國教會拓展生根的關鍵時刻！
文化基督化
1989年「六四」之後，大批的中國知識分子信主，他們承認了理性的局限性，也不再提「反宗教、反帝國主義」，轉而思考基督教對中國現代化有何貢獻？如今正是因勢利導，以基督思想來影響中國文化，以聖經真理來更新中國文化的關鍵時刻！
