a letter from a Chinese pastor

December 21st, 2018 | 1 min read

By Matthew Loftus

This is a moving letter from a Chinese pastor arrested for preaching the Gospel:

Those who lock me up will one day be locked up by angels. Those who interrogate me will finally be questioned and judged by Christ.  When I think of this, the Lord fills me with a natural compassion and grief toward those who are attempting to and actively imprisoning me. Pray that the Lord would use me, that he would grant me patience and wisdom, that I might take the gospel to them.
