Chinese police stopped a church service and questioned more than 30 people

A church in China faced serious trouble recently. Police came to the church during Sunday service. They stopped the service and took people away. More than 30 church members were questioned by police.

Two church leaders were detained. These leaders organized the church community. The church is called Early Rain Covenant Church. It is not officially approved by the Chinese government.

The church has many members. These members meet together to worship. They also help people in the community. The church became very influential in the city.

Church members say they did nothing wrong. They want to worship freely. They want to follow their faith. But the government does not allow unofficial churches.

This event shows the difficult situation for churches in China. Many people want to practice their religion. However, the government controls religious activities strictly. Unofficial churches face challenges and pressure.

Families of detained members are worried. They want to know why their loved ones were taken. They hope the people will be released soon. Many supporters pray for the church members.
