  • explosion of God's power like the

  • underground Church in China is

  • experiencing and in the last 60 years

  • china's communist government has done

  • it's best to wipe Christianity off the

  • map what you are about to see is some of

  • the rarest footage on the planet

  • in this church the people wake up at

  • four-thirty to come together for two

  • hours to pray and worship they do this

  • every day this church meets in the only

  • place they are safe a cave

  • this church meets on a farm far away

  • from prying eyes

  • here's an example of an underground

  • church outreach the people sitting are

  • Christians the people who are standing

  • are not this particular preacher was

  • thing dennis pointed out to me was that

  • most of the underground churches in

  • communist system and they want nothing

  • to do with it they only want to spread

  • this is a music school well that's the

  • cover anyway it's really a training

  • school for students who want to be

  • one thing I quickly realized about the

  • Chinese church is that it's a lot

  • different from the American one for one

  • thing they think a four-hour sermon is

  • short in this church service it's a

  • hundred and twenty degrees inside the

  • building the people meet for 12 hours

  • straight

  • Dennis told me one story about a time he

  • went to a very remote village in China

  • to preach he was led into a large room

  • where the people were packed so closely

  • together that he had his back to the

  • wall and could reach out and touch the

  • row in front of him everyone stood there

  • was no room to sit he asked how long he

  • should preach for and they told him from

  • 8:30 to 7 at night then they asked him

  • if it wasn't too much trouble could you

  • come back tomorrow and preach from 8 :30

  • to 7:00 again and then very sheepishly they

  • asked again if you'd be so kind could

  • you come back the day after that and

  • preach from 8:30 to 7:00 he asked how often he

  • should take breaks and they told him not

  • to stop the people will wait then he

  • asked them what he should preach on

  • everything they replied from Genesis to

  • Revelation and then it dawned on him

  • these people had no Bibles

  • After the death of Mao Zedong the Chinese people

  • cheated by a false god began to search

  • for the true God

  • for the first time in their lives people

  • from the lowest levels of society came

  • face-to-face with God's unconditional

  • love with Christ's sacrifice on the
