In a country as large as China, your visit to 3 cities in a small geographic region proves very limited. As a volunteer with Voice of the Martyrs, I get frequent reports of arrests and abuse of house-church members. Some occur near Beijing. But many come from more remote areas. This slide show is not about China. It is about the area near Beijing.

My husband and I are now 78...we moved to China when we were 72 to teach English and more important ethereal things. Instead of one year, we stayed two and a half...would live there permanently if we weren't sooooo old (not really, we have four children who enjoy us on a part-time basis...plus ten grandchildren.) We now have a dozen chinese "children" and help them establish an underground house church. It is of utmost importance in their province to maintain a low profile. We visit them twice each year as an encouragement and maintaining wonderful relationship. We love each one ~ they love us and there's no limit to their interest in Father's kingdom. They always asked, "why are you always smiling?" Well, I have a very good friend. "Who?" You don't know him but his name is Godl. "Oh"...the door is opened and that's only the beginning of some most fantastic experiences imaginable. Father changed our lives and many others in the process.

Are the people in the video in danger from a beting and perhaps prison.....we spent l0 years in China and they persecute anyone who has not got their permission to do this and even if you did, the persecution might still be there. We saw the pics but no sound.
We love the Chinese, they are beautiful people, but think of them, don't think of yourself, take
pictures that won't put them in prison for life.....Wang Biag was given life sentence in Shenzhen, (pray for him) Celil a Cdn. was given life sentence when he went home to visit his family, Shi Tao a journalist is still in prison for writing his brother by email in New York (no one is allowed to speak against the govt. NO One.)Pray for the 5 R.C. priests arrested, they ae often beaten and tortured, your pics were of the church in China, we visited many, but never went underground to protect the people, hot ourselves. You can do more by prayer.....God bless you and your work, continue to pray for those in prison.
