are you persecuted and how? persecution and more christians?

Question

I am Asian, living in Singapore, an island modern city-state with many first class facilities.

As a christian, I face many persecutions in an Asian culture.

Our fellow Asian people tell us that following Christianity is like being "americanised" or "westernised", when Jesus was a middle eastern

Our Asian religions more often than not tells us that there are more than one God.

Our fellow Asian people sees Hollywood, and deem it as "Christianity" just because people in it says "Oh JESUS CHRIST!", therefore concluding that Christianity is nothing but fashion and hype.

In an Asian culture where parents are supposed to be NUMBER ONE (i love my mom alot), when we say God is Number One, we face many insults.

But interestingly, in places where Christians are persecuted, the number of Christians are increasing tremendously. (China, South Korea(developed country), Singapore, Northern Thailand)

are you persecuted and how?

Answer 1

Christians in Asia are to be emulated by those of us in relatively free societies. I know there are hundreds of Christian pastors in prison in China for preaching, and I really hope and pray that they will be OK and will be able to rejoin their families soon! Yes, even with the persecution there are reported to be thousands of new Christians every week at services. Please know we are with you!
