few places in the world are seeing the
explosion of God's power like the
underground Church in China is
experiencing and in the last 60 years
china's communist government has done
it's best to wipe Christianity off the
map what you are about to see is some of
the rarest footage on the planet
in this church the people wake up at
four-thirty to come together for two
hours to pray and worship they do this
every day this church meets in the only
place they are safe a cave
this church meets on a farm far away
from prying eyes
here's an example of an underground
church outreach the people sitting are
Christians the people who are standing
are not this particular preacher was
once crippled but was healed when
someone prayed for her she now preaches
the good news of Jesus to anyone who
will listen in this particular meeting
over 1000 people became Christians
here Christians cast out demons from an
18 year old girl she's now a preacher in
shanghai alone there are over 3,000
house churches just like this one one
thing dennis pointed out to me was that
most of the underground churches in
china are actually led by young people
these kids have all come out of the
communist system and they want nothing
to do with it they only want to spread
the love of Jesus to everybody they meet
this is a music school well that's the
cover anyway it's really a training
school for students who want to be
pastors the government thinks they're
simply learning to play instruments
one thing I quickly realized about the
Chinese church is that it's a lot
different from the American one for one
thing they think a four-hour sermon is
short in this church service it's a
hundred and twenty degrees inside the
building the people meet for 12 hours
straight
Dennis told me one story about a time he
went to a very remote village in China
to preach he was led into a large room
where the people were packed so closely
together that he had his back to the
wall and could reach out and touch the
row in front of him everyone stood there
was no room to sit he asked how long he
should preach for and they told him from
8:30 to 7 at night then they asked him
if it wasn't too much trouble could you
come back tomorrow and preach from 8 :30
to 7:00 again and then very sheepishly they
asked again if you'd be so kind could
you come back the day after that and
preach from 8:30 to 7:00 he asked how often he
should take breaks and they told him not
to stop the people will wait then he
asked them what he should preach on
everything they replied from Genesis to
Revelation and then it dawned on him
these people had no Bibles
After the death of Mao Zedong the Chinese people
cheated by a false god began to search
for the true God
for the first time in their lives people
from the lowest levels of society came
face-to-face with God's unconditional
love with Christ's sacrifice on the
cross and with the knowledge that in
God's temple they had value and dignity
how could they not rejoice like everyone
who has received the most precious gift
in the world
Here is God's presence
Here is the God's Word
Here is the annointing from the Holy Spirit
Here is a different world
When brothers live together in unity
How good and lovely it is
It is as if the dew of Hermon
Were falling on mount Zion
Love is here
Peace is here
Light is here
Life is here
The blessing from God are all here
If you want to find him
Come to Jesus Christ
the first time I went to church I felt the atmosphere there
was really good I found true meaning in
life I found peace that I never felt
before peace in the Lord so I can say
without reservation I will follow God
for the rest of my life
after the service my soul
felt especially sweet and joyful Lord
how wonderful it will be if we can meet
like this every day
for 3 nights overwhelmed with joy I thought
Lord what have I received where am I so
feel joy no money I have no family I
have nothing and you know I was
absolutely sure that this joy came from
heaven
