We Praise God for this report!I think this is such a wonderful report, especially as we head toward Resurrection Sunday! I pray that the American Church be Resurrected. Let this be a strong message to Christians all over the World! Amen! Thousands of Christians formed a human shield around the newly-constructed Sanjiang Christian Church in China’s Zhejiang Province after police officers with bulldozers threatened to demolish it, according to International Christian Concern.
The human shield that they formed saved the Church from destruction.
The standoff at the church reportedly began after a visiting Communist Party secretary said the church was too large.
“When the Party secretary Xia Baolong visited the local areas, he found the cross on top of the church very conspicuous. So he ordered that it be demolished,” church leader Zheng Leguo told ChinaAid.
The standoff was unusual in that Sanjiang Church is part of China’s Three-Self Patriotic Movement and that its congregation was officially sanctioned by the Communist state.
