Wear the Prayer Band that Started a Revolution

Total number prayer bands distributed:

The Chinese government calls this prayer band a "national politically sensitive item". Officials are searching the entire country for these bands and those distributing them—simply because they are praying for China.

One Chinese Christian told us:

"For the national government, the prayer bands are a symbol of a revolution, and the government is very scared ... they think prayer is a national security threat."

A well-known house church leader was held 11 days by police, who accused him of having an "illegal business operation" for distributing prayer bands free of charge. Yet, he is not afraid. He told us:

"The police can stop us from wearing the prayer bands, but they can’t stop us from praying. Many Chinese brothers and sisters are still wearing the prayer bands without fear."

A call came from Chinese house church leaders to Christians in the free world to unite with them in prayer for China during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The China Prayer Band became the symbol of this call. ChinaAid, together with The Voice of the Martyrs mobilized to distribute prayer bands throughout the international community, including China.

Since the Olympics, Chinese Communists have increased persecution. The need to pray and to stand with the persecuted in China is even more critical now.
