The Voice of the Martyrs - She produced digital Bibles in China. Now she's in prison.

The CCP considered her a threat. Now she’s in prison.

Fu Xuanjuan was the owner of Shenzhen Tree of Life Technology Development, a company that produced digital Bible players in China. On July 2, 2020, she was arrested and later convicted of “illegal business operation.” She appealed the conviction, but in January 2022 a Chinese court upheld the original verdict and sentenced her to six years in prison. Fu’s company produced portable digital players that contained a narrated recording of the Bible as well as sermons and hymns. The players were especially useful to elderly Christians, but Chinese authorities viewed the players with suspicion. SPECIAL OFFER! Give any gift and get a FREE copy of When Faith Is Forbidden.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) actively seeks to silence influential Christians like Fu through false accusations, unfounded charges and imprisonment. Countless Christian leaders in China are imprisoned or have recently been released from prison. Yet our Christian brothers and sisters in Communist China continue to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, despite the risk. You’re invited to help them stand firm in faith as they willingly pay a price for their faithful witness. When our persecuted Christian family members in China face oppression from Communist authorities, encouragement and support from the global body of Christ let them know they are not alone. Your gift will help provide for their needs when they are persecuted and equip them to be bold witnesses. Special offer! When you give any gift to support persecuted Christians, we’ll send you a free copy of When Faith Is Forbidden. RESPOND TODAY

The Voice of the Martyrs - Help Christians in China Facing Intense Opposition

Christians in China Are Paying a Price

Despite continuous pressure and oppression from the Communist government, Christians in China refuse to compromise the gospel. In recent years, restrictive religious regulations and persecution have increased significantly. Hundreds of churches have been closed. Pastors and church members have been arrested or detained. Online Bible sales have been prohibited. The Communist government has installed hundreds of millions of facial recognition cameras, many in or near churches in order to identify those attending worship services. Church leaders are continually pressured to join the government-controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement. Teaching anyone under age 18 about the Christian faith is illegal. Christians in China continue to proclaim the gospel under intense scrutiny from local authorities, and they willingly pay the price for doing so. Your gifts will encourage and strengthen Christians in China, helping to meet the needs that arise when they are persecuted for their faith. Some of these needs include living expenses and legal assistance. HELP NOW

The Voice of the Martyrs - Help Chinese Christians who put Christ above Party.

Stand with Persecuted Christians in China

Highly restrictive religious laws, surveillance cameras monitoring every move, police raiding “illegal” Christian gatherings and pastors locked in prison — these are just a few of the challenges persecuted Christians in China face each week. But despite the Communist government’s attempts to control Christians and close churches, the body of Christ is growing in China! By giving today, you can provide essential aid, such as distributing more Bibles to those hungry for God’s Word, offering vital training to equip new leaders for service in the flourishing church, and providing much-needed assistance to the families of those imprisoned for their faith. HELP CHINESE CHRISTIANS

In recent years, President Xi Jinping and his Communist government have increased restrictions on religion and implemented draconian enforcement measures. Loyalty to the Communist Party and to President Xi is required of every citizen. While Chinese Christians love their country, they understand that their true citizenship is in heaven and their first loyalty is to Christ. Chinese Christians who stand on this truth are fired from jobs, kicked out of their homes and even locked in prison. Your contribution will support persecuted Christians in China and show them that they are not alone. Together, we can make a difference, providing hope to our Christian brothers and sisters in China.

The Voice of the Martyrs - Stand with Persecuted Chinese Christians

More Persecution, More Growth

The persecution of Christians is increasing throughout China. President Xi Jinping has established himself as a modern-day emperor, whose Chinese Communist Party seeks to control every aspect of religious expression in the country. Party officials have ordered churches to begin all meetings with patriotic, pro-communist songs rather than Christian hymns and to place a portrait of President Xi in a prominent location inside the church. Churches are also expected to install cameras that enable police to monitor all activities and identify everyone present. Online worship has been outlawed, and uncooperative pastors are arrested and given long prison sentences. HELP CHINESE CHRISTIANS

The Voice of the Martyrs - House Church Pastor: "Church in China Still Growing"

LISTEN NOW: Pastor Says Chinese Church Still Growing

Highly restrictive religious laws, ever-present surveillance cameras and police raids on churches are just a few of the challenges faced by Christians in China every day. Despite the Communist government’s ongoing efforts to control Christians, the church in China is still growing! Listen as Pastor Enfu, who leads an unregistered church, shares about continued church growth and the challenges of leading an illegal church congregation. As government efforts to control and close churches have increased, large church gatherings have become almost impossible. Christians have responded by meeting in smaller groups, which requires more trained leaders. In this VOM Radio interview, Pastor Enfu shares how Chinese Christians are meeting that need and how we can pray that God will continue to raise up leaders within Chinese churches.
