Persecuted Church

From Open Doors Secret Church Devotional
The Chinese Pastor pastor Samuel Lamb spent a quarter of his life imprisoned for his faith. "Before I was put into prison in 1955, this churches membership as 400; when I came out in 1978, it built up to 900 in a matter of weeks. Then after 1990, when everything was confiscated here and the church briefly closed, we reopened and in a matter of weeks we had 2,000 members. More persecution, more growth - that's the history of the Chinese church, that's the history of this church"
Do pray for the persecuted church, that it will remain true to its roots.
