NON STOP PRAYERS OF CHINESE CHRISTIANS
Recent news from September 13, 2015 indicated that Christians growth in China is at it's highest rise of followers. In Northeast China hundreds gather to pray in a non-stop prayer movement daily. The pray movement started 6 years ago has increased in number, but not without rival from the Chinese government. In the 1940's thousands of Chinese Christians lost their lives with government rivals because they had chosen to become Christians. Today, the government is swept again with ways to discontinue the growing of Christians in China. The prayer center was started in 2009 has now added over 167 churches that has joined and attended in the prayer services. When the Communist government took over in the 1940's there were roughly 4 million Christians, today with rapid growth of believers that number has exploded to over 100 million followers of Jesus Christ.
In addition, some controversy still over shadows the churches which display the steeple with cross of representing the Jesus. Some protestors of the faith are not understanding why the government has started making it more difficult to display the cross at the Christians places of worship and churches. Continual news of this new endeavor is developing, as churches are disappointed the government has decided that crosses cannot be displayed on church grounds. Thousands of crosses were removed last year and in early August more troubled was stirred with some of the Catholic Churches who lead vigils and prayers for crosses to remain on church buildings, however the govern enforces it goes again the zoning codes for crosses to be displayed. Many officials may be concerned that growth of Christians may enable power over the country and are seen as deliberating crosses as as illegal displays.
