(Minghui.org) The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has severely suppressed various religions for years, making it easier for Falun Dafa practitioners to clarify the truth to those with spiritual beliefs. I would like to share my experience, hoping it will help others become more effective in their truth clarification.
China’s economy continues to deteriorate, and people are increasingly unhappy. Although they are angry, they don’t dare speak out. Many of them have relied on their faith to help them deal with their situation.
One evening, when I was distributing information about Falun Dafa in a residential community, three women from a church across the street came over. I quickly tucked the pamphlets into my clothes. One of them said, “You’re a Falun Dafa practitioner, aren’t you? We’ve seen you in our community before. We are Christians from that church. You practitioners are respectful people and we won’t report you.”
I chatted with them and asked if they understood that the CCP committed such evil deeds as the fake self-immolation, live organ harvesting for profit, and other criminal acts.
“We didn’t believe it at first and thought your claims were absurd,” one woman said. “But we later believed it. We’d like to tell you our story, but not out here. Let’s go inside the church.”
The women referred to each other as sisters. They told me what recently happened to their church. The atheist CCP began to suppress churches in 2015, starting in Zhejiang Province and gradually sweeping across Chian. They removed all the crosses and demolished church buildings that they claimed didn’t comply with building codes. Anyone who resisted was arrested and imprisoned. Everyone lived in fear.
The sisters then took me into the main hall of their church and asked me to see for myself. I looked at the center of the altar and, instead of a statue of Jesus, there was a red CCP flag with a horizontal banner at the top with the slogan, “Everyone must work hard to make church supporters believe in the Party”. The bookshelves were full of books about the CCP, it’s core values, and socialism. All the Bibles were removed and piled in a damp, moldy storage room.
One of the sisters stamped said, “The CCP has done all kinds of evil things. How could we not believe what you told us?”
Another added, “Several pastors were arrested! They were replaced by puppets assigned by the CCP, who lectured us about Communism and persuaded us to join the evil Party.”
I understood their persecution and asked them to quit the CCP. All three of them immediately denounced the evil Party using their real names. They also invited many other believers to the church the next night and asked me to help them all quit the CCP.
Hundreds of Christians belong to this church, and many of them wanted to know about Falun Dafa. I told them, “Gods and Buddhas are aware of what’s happened to you. Countless high-level beings in heaven are watching you. They hope you all can know that Falun Dafa is good, and is mankind’s hope for the future.”
The religious persecution has made the Party increasingly unpopular, and made more people willing to accept Dafa. More than half the Christians from this church quit the CCP.
