Destruction |

Bob Fu
Responds to Remarks Regarding Outreach During Olympic Games |
|
On his
recent visit to China, Dr. Billy Graham's son, Franklin, recently
stated that Christians should not evangelize during the Olympic
Games as it is against the law in that country. Franklin Graham made
his controversial remarks as he recently talked to reporters in
China while visiting communist officials. The Chinese government has
stated that evangelism will not be tolerated during the Olympics.
The underground church thinks differently, according to one ministry
leader. "It is a matter of who heads the church and it is certainly
not the government," says Bob Fu, China Aid Association president in
an interview with OneNewsNow. He believes the underground church
welcomes evangelistic efforts. |

attendance, given that China has often been criticized for
repressing religious freedom. According to the senior pastor of
Hangzhou Chong-Yi Christian church, Graham’s event this past weekend
was the church’s largest gathering ever. |

A Look
Back at China's Growing Faith |
|
Much
attention has been paid to China’s human rights violations,
including its suppression of religious freedom, ahead of the Beijing
Olympics in August. But a look back at the past decade shows how far
the strictly secular and officially atheist nation has come in terms
of religion. About a third (31 per cent) of Chinese citizens
consider religion to be very or somewhat important in their lives,
compared to only a tenth (11 per cent) who say religion is not at
all important, according to a 2006 survey by the Pew Global
Attitudes Project that was referenced in a Pew Forum analysis on
Friday. |
