The persecuted and retired pastors in the Heavenly Treasures group live with very little income due to standing for the Gospel in Communist China. They've spent years in prison, but are still considered 'enemies of the state' by the Chinese Communist Party.
All in the Heavenly Treasures group chose to follow Jesus in their youth and endure persecution as a result. Persecution made it difficult for them to hold steady work in their younger years to save for retirement.
For some, the Communist Party also denied their children good schooling and work opportunities.
As a result, they need your help to cover basic living expenses so they can keep ministering the Gospel!
All in the Heavenly Treasures program continue to faithfully serve and disciple other believers, even though they are no longer able to work due to their age. Some physically able to do so meet with younger Christians and other group members.
Here's a testimony from a person who worked with some of the Heavenly Treasures
"Praise the Lord, the old saints of the heavenly rare treasure have freedom and no fear. The majority of the old saints have been in the prison, but they still keep being faithful in the Lord."
A note about some Heavenly Treasures members
"On their way to preach the gospel, they were beaten and attacked, and called crazy, but they never gave up preaching the gospel; even the police came directly to their home and took them to the police station and beat them severely, but they did not scare them....But thank the Lord that every time they were sick, they would sing and praise the Lord..."
Sow into the lives of these special saints today so they can keep sharing their hearts and faith with younger members of the Chinese church.
