Read : Acts 7:54-60 The Lord ... will not forsake His faithful ones. They will be protected forever.” - Psalm 37:28 An elder of a small church in China was taken to court because of his faith in Christ. After bone-breaking beatings, he was thrown into the prison, only to be released a few days later without any explanation. At the next worship service, the elder gave his testimony to the assembled church which had been praying for him without ceasing during his imprisonment.
