A local pastor in Wuhan was taken away by police for interrogation in May while he was leading an online meeting of Christians on evangelism and church planting.
Pastor Luo was taken to a police station and interrogated for more than four hours. Not afraid, Luo told the police that Christians served the city during Wuhan’s most difficult moments, leaving policemen speechless.
‘I rebuked them, calling them out that they are not minding business that they should be minding,’ Luo was quoted as saying. ‘Christians disregarded their own lives to do good things, yet the police treat them as the bad guys. I also told them a few times in all seriousness, I will only live for Christ, I will not argue on other matters. However, I will never change [my persistence] about evangelism.’ The officials then let the pastor go.
More raids
Earlier in May, police violently raided a house church in Xiamen city, injuring several worshippers. Though male church members attempted to block the door, police stormed in, yelling at church members and demanding that they stop recording with their cell phones.
In a video, the police could be seen pressing church members’ heads down to the ground.
