Accounts of healing miracles from the current Christian revival sweeping Communist China.

Despite more than 50 years of this persecution, the number of Chinese Christians has increased a hundred-fold! In fact, the total number of Chinese Christians has grown from 700,000 in 1949 to approximately 70 million today.

This miracle has bewildered the Chinese government.

Is it possible that Jesus is now converting ALL of China, and that Revelation (below) refers to this? Could China become a more Christian nation than America--as America wallows in abortion, gay marriage, homosexual clergy, and killing of the holy innocents (abortion)? Is this another sure sign that
the Lord is near? What is happening in China right now is a "fire" spread by the Holy Spirit... Amid great persecution, God has been working great miracles in China. The house church movement there is numbered at many millions. They meet secretly to pray, worship, sing and read scriptures which are doubly precious because they are so difficult to obtain. Is this part of the prophecised "Later Day Rain"?

"And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the Kings of the East might be prepared" (Revelation 16:12)

A leader from the house church movement in Henan Province reports on the contnued remarkable work of God in China

The things we are seeing now are beyond anything we ever saw or even thought possible. For example, during 'Gospel Month' - a time when we ask every believer to lead at least one person to Christ - there were 120,000 conversions in Henan alone.

God worked with us, confirming the word with signs and wonders. Without these miracles, man alone would not be able to accomplish anything.

Three sisters went to Xinyue District in Henan to evangelise, and after seven days of ministry 1,100 people repented and were saved.

It was as if there was fire in their hands, for whoever they laid their hands on, they immediately experienced a 'burning' sensation all throughout their body.

As these three sisters were evangelising, a man came up to them and began to curse them. However, they paid no attention to him.

After a long time others came to the sisters and said, 'Why is it you show compassion to this man, even though he is cursing you?'

As soon as they said this the man collapsed and died. It caused great awe and reverence toward the Lord in the crowd of people who witnessed this judgment of God.

Many repented and accepted Jesus. In previous years when missionaries worked here, they didn't see such numbers converted even after several dozen years. We sense now that this is the time for the Holy Spirit to mightily work through us.

Though there are many difficulties in open street evangelism here, during the Chinese New Year festivals it is easier to go out into the open to preach the gospel.

A whole group of sisters were preaching when some police officials soddenly appeared.

One stretched out his hand toward the sisters and shouted, 'Arrest them!'

However, immediately his ann turned stiff in its stretched out position and he was not able to put it down or retract it. He went back to the police station and in desperation asked, 'What can I do?' Someone said, 'You must find a Christian to pray for you.

Therefore they invited our preachers to the police station to pray for him, and when they did, he was healed!

They then preached to the police and many of them accepted the Lord.

Previously, during our open air meetings, few people would pay any attention. Now, everywhere when we go out with our tambourines and other instruments to share about Jesus, crowds of people stop everything they are doing to attend our meetings.

As we preach, many cry out, 'We have never heard such good news in all our lives. Why has nobody told us this before?'

The people forget about all their plans and activities and remain for hours to listen to the gospel. It is truly the fire of the Holy Spirit burning in our midst.

Evangelism via toilet paper
Hundreds of Chinese prisoners become Christians

"The younger of two Chinese brothers needed money to marry," reports Neil Anderson of Hong Kong's 'The Sowers Ministry'. "His elder brother lent him the money. One day, the younger brother saw a blank check at his workplace, and could not resist the temptation to use it to pay his brother back. The crime was discovered, and the younger brother sentenced to death. Anguished, the elder brother went to a Christian friend to ask for advice, and as a result, came to believe in Jesus. He immediately went to visit his brother in jail, to tell him about Jesus too. Lacking any other material, he wrote on a piece of toilet paper, which he gave to his brother, pleading with him to become a Christian. The younger brother was also saved, and started to preach in the prison, with the result that hundreds of inmates have turned to Christ," reports Anderson. In the meantime, other Christians prayed that the younger brother's sentence would be reduced, which then happened: it was reduced from death to probation, apparently an absolute miracle in the Chinese justice system. The elder brother now leads a house church, which prays for the release of more prisoners.
