The Lord is so amazing how He has directed us to read Safely Home this summer, the summer of the 2008 Olympics in China. This book has totally opened our eyes to what is going on right now, behind the scenes in China for the believers there. And I have totally been praying for the persecuted Christians as our attention has been focused in that part of the world.
China tells the world that they allow their people to have freedom of religion. But that is a lie. Read the following article from foxnews.com
BEIJING — A group of American Christians who had more than 300 Bibles confiscated by Chinese officials when they arrived in China is refusing to leave the airport until they get the books back, their leader said Monday.
Pat Klein said he and three others from his Vision Beyond Borders group spent Sunday night at the airport in the southwestern city of Kunming after customs officers took the Bibles from their checked luggage.
"I heard that there's freedom of religion in China, so why is there a problem for us to bring Bibles?" said Klein, whose Sheridan, Wyoming-based group distributes Bibles and Christian teaching materials around the world."

And please remember to pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ, who live in China. Believers who daily risk their lives to possess a bible and worship our Lord.
We will finish our Summer Book Club on Saturday night, August 30 with EPICgirls CHINA NIGHT. We will watch a movie about missions, worship, pray, eat and get ready to begin a new year of school.
