Because of increasing restrictions and persecution, native ministries rely more on house churches for evangelism and discipleship of new believers. Christian workers from one ministry visited several house churches and were encouraged by the people’s faith and testimonies. “It is also found that the house fellowships are grown up spiritually and strong in their faith in Christ, amidst increasing opposition,” the ministry leader said. “Believers regularly gather for fellowship, breaking the bread, and teaching of the Word, and also witnessing the Lord’s name in and through their lives.” Your gifts support the growth of house churches such as these. Pray for believers who face increasing hostility to Christianity.
