Story number 2 for 17 May 2000

Meanwhile, Voice of the Martyrs is reporting Chinese authorities have arrested seven Christian leaders across the Guangdong province. Public Security Bureau officers also visited Hua Du village, where Pastor LiDexian preaches each Tuesday. Authorities barred the doors of the meeting place in an effort to keep Christians from meeting. China reportedly intends to push forward with a crackdown on groups not sanctioned by the government. Please pray for Chinese believers at this time.
