The underground church, which enjoys the majority of Chinese converts, has long resisted registering with the government’s official Three-Self church, fearing the regulation of training, jurisdiction, baptisms, etc.
However, several house church pastors met with Chinese president Xi Jinping last week at his personally-written invitation. The leaders, including Pastor Zhang Rongliang of Fengcheng church, Pastor Shen of Tanghe, Pastor Chen of Truth, Pastor Enguan, and the leadership of Mongfu – or Blessings church discussed the challenges they faced, looking towards their acceptance of and sanctioning by the Chinese government.
