Human Rights Lawyer Carlos Iglesias: Repatriating Chinese Christians Is Putting Their Lives at Stake



Human Rights Lawyer Carlos Iglesias: Repatriating Chinese Christians Is Putting Their Lives at Stake


As everyone knows, since it took power the Chinese Communist Party has been madly suppressing religious beliefs and doing its utmost to ban house churches. Its persecution against The Church of Almighty God is especially serious. Many Christians of the church have been caught and subjected to the CCP's oppression and persecution, and countless fleeing from the arrest have been unable to return home and lived in exile, with their families shattered. In recent years, as the CCP continues to escalate the persecution of religious beliefs, some Christians of The Church of Almighty God have been forced to flee to foreign countries to seek refuge. However, their asylum applications in some countries have been rejected again and again due to the interference of the CCP government, and they are at the risk of being repatriated.

2019 Christian Song "Those Who God Will Save Are Foremost in His Heart" The Love of God Is Good



2019 Christian Song "Those Who God Will Save Are Foremost in His Heart" The Love of God Is Good 


How significant is God’s saving work, more important than all other things to Him. With purposed plans and will, not just thoughts and words, He does everything for all mankind. O how significant it is, God’s saving work, for both man and Himself. How busy God is, what effort He makes. He manages His work, rules all things, all people. Never seen before, at so great a price. In His work, God reveals to man bit by bit what God is and has, the price He’s paid, wisdom, power, all His disposition. No matter how hard the work, no matter what obstacles, no matter how weak and rebellious man is, nothing can stop God, nothing’s too hard, nothing’s too hard. How close is God, what intimacy for the ones He chooses to manage and save.
