All of this year’s Wilberforce Weekend Christian conference content will be delivered virtually and, the best part is, it is absolutely free. Given the difficult and uncertain times, not to mention the rising unemployment rate, we’ve removed all costs associated with this event and are trusting God to use this virtual event to equip and lead His people for such a time as this.
In the last week, the number of coronavirus cases in China has dropped, but in Italy, the number of death caused by the virus has risen drastically.
Death tolls continue to rise as the coronavirus spreads internationally.
New regulations in China state that churches and other religious organizations must “support the leadership” of the Communist Party and “adhere to” the government’s teachings.
Hundreds of Israelis came together at the Western Wall to ask God to bring healing to China amid the massive coronavirus outbreak.
China just appointed a new leader over Hong Kong and reports show that he is notoriously anti-Christian.
Chinese government officials are continuing to crack down on the Christians, confiscating Bibles from churches and Christians in the country.
Christians at ground zero of the Coronavirus outbreak in China are using their masks to disguise their faces as they share the word of God on the streets of the Communist country.
The Coronavirus outbreak has taken the lives of more than 100 people so far. So how exactly are Christians supposed to respond to the outbreak?
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged that “The only way we will defeat this outbreak is for all countries to work together in a spirit of solidarity and cooperation. We are all in this together and we can only stop it together."
Almost 500 years ago, a similar approach was encouraged when German Christians in Wittenberg – facing the re-emergence of black plague in 1527 – called on Protestant reformist Martin Luther for guidance on whether they should flee for their lives.
Bob Fu never intended this would be his life. Born in Shandong Province to a disabled father and beggar mother, he enrolled in university, fully intending to join the Communist Party and become a government official. God, however, had other plans. An American professor gave him a biography of a Chinese intellectual who converted to Christianity. As Fu told the Wall Street Journal, “that book changed my life.” After graduation, Fu taught English at a Communist Party School in Beijing while he and his wife, Heidi, became active in the house church movement. They even established a Bible school, which used chairs he borrowed from the Communist Party’s school. The Communist Party didn’t quite share Fu’s sense of irony. He and his wife were jailed.
