Story number 2 for 11 Feb 2000

Next, Voice of the Marytrs is reporting an answer to prayer. The latest news is
that one of China’s most outspoken house church pastors has experienced three weeks
of relative calm, after nearly three months of continual persecution from the Chinese
authorities. Much of the harassment Pastor Li DeXian experienced included dozens of
arrests, the destruction of his building and literature confiscated. However, VOM says
he was able to preach twice this week at regular church meetings without trouble from
the police.
