Story number 3 for 24 Sep 2002

(China)–10 evangelical church leaders in southern China have received prison sentences for starting unregistered children’s Sunday School. Voice of the Martyrs reports that the four men and six women received sentences from three to eight years from the Yun Yang County People’s Court. Unregistered churches and Sunday schools are illegal in China and children under the age of 18 are not allowed to attend. Pray for these imprisoned believers who were having an impact on evangelism in their country.
