Pushback in China

There are now an estimated 100 million plus Christians in China and the fastest growing group is among students and intellectuals. Although this is a drop in the bucket compared to China's total population, it is still a very significant number, especially considering the skills of the Christ-followers, and the government has taken notice. 

A beta campaign is under way in one Chinese province to harass Christians and burn crosses. The cross at the top of one church caught fire "spontaneously" according to government sources. Of course the fact that a cherry picker had elevated a government worker up to the base of the cross shortly before the fire broke out had nothing to do with it. 

Christians are now pushing back with a campaign to build and distribute crosses throughout the province simultaneously. The Romans had a tough time dealing with these folks and eventually lost the battle altogether. The Chinese are a determined foe too but my money is on God and His people winning this one eventually.
