For many Western Christians, the experience of suffering and persecution is remote. For Chinese Christians, on the other hand, persecution is a regular aspect of the Christian life. If a Christian from the West was transported to a Chinese house church, the topic of suffering would be ever-present in preaching and conversation. With decades of persecution under government oppression and a rich theology of suffering, the Chinese house church movement has much to contribute theologically to the global church. Join us to hear the letters from Chinese Christians as they pull back the curtain on the pastoral heart and the hope behind the house church's remarkable faithfulness, awakening the Church to the reality of the gospel—the ground of our hope—in the midst of darkness.
