Kidnapped by a Cult: A Pastor's Stand Against a Murderous Sect - Paperback

by Shen Xiaoming (Author), Eugene Bach (Author), Brother Yun (Foreword by)

"I would not encourage anyone to seek persecution, but as Christians, we should never deny ourselves the privilege of traveling on the path of suffering. It is a difficult path--but a glorious one." -Pastor Shen Xiaoming

Shen Xiaoming is the pastor of millions.

Founder of one of the largest underground churches in China, he is no stranger to persecution from China's historically hostile government. Time and again, Pastor Shen has experienced deprivation, disease, and imprisonment for the sake of the incredible spread of the gospel in rural central China.

But April 16, 2002, brought the persecution to a new level. Pastor Shen was kidnapped by the murderous Eastern Lightning cult after being lured into a supposed Bible conference. This dangerous cult believes that Christ returned in the form of a female Chinese leader, and they use force, torture, and indoctrination to gain followers. Yet again, Pastor Shen had to take a stand against evil.

Here is his story.

Shen Xiaoming was converted in Henan Province in 1979 and eventually became a founder of the China Gospel Fellowship, by some estimates the largest church in the world, ministering and teaching throughout the underground house church for years. Today he still labors for the unity and freedom of the Chinese church.
