So where's the church?

Lockdown craziness has affected us all. Truly, the world will never be the same again!

I’ve seen churches face the challenge head on, and do the very best they can to continue to build God’s Kingdom where they are. They delivered food, supported local charities – even setting up new ones, knocked on doors to check on the vulnerable, set up telephone chains for support, posted DVDs, cassette tapes and CDs of services to people with no digital access............

Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear for I am with you, Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

John 15:5
5)I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

As believers in China began meeting online last year, government monitoring became much easier.
Now, many are going back to meeting in secret to avoid this heavy surveillance.

1 John 3:11
11)For this is the message which you [believers] have heard from the beginning [of your relationship with Christ], that we should [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another;

Psalm 5:11-12
11)But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,
Let them ever sing for joy;
Because You cover and shelter them,
Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.
12)For You, O LORD, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You];
You surround him with favor as with a shield.
