Summary

I was part of a documentary called “One Ruler – The Power of Persecuted Church,” which highlights our experiences as believers facing restrictions and hostility for our faith. In my case, I shared how government surveillance and arrests became a daily reality in China, yet our underground house churches continued to multiply. Another believer, formerly a hardline Muslim in Sudan, recounted how he once violently persecuted a Christian classmate but later encountered the transforming love of Christ. Despite imprisonment, torture, and even seeing family members renounce them, persecuted Christians have seen their faith flourish under pressure. The documentary reveals that genuine joy and endurance spring from daily trusting God’s Word, embracing community prayer, and being unafraid to share Jesus—whether in a secret gathering or even from a prison cell. Though risking everything, our testimonies show the unstoppable power of the gospel in the darkest of places.

—————– Original Video —————–

In countries where Christians are persecuted and suppressed Christianity is increasing rapidly. This has happened for example in China and more recently, in the Arabic world. How do persecuted Christians see their life and faith? What is the secret of their success and why the number of Christians tend to rise in the middle of persecution?
