How do you do church when it’s illegal to meet? Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, churches were suddenly ordered, by the government, to stop holding public services. Pastors who ignored this order were threatened with fines and jail terms. Americans had always assumed that we would be free to hold public worship services. The order to stop was a scary eye-opener. Fortunately, the ban has been lifted.

This, however, is a way of life for many Christians in other countries. In 52 countries (mostly Muslim and communist), Christians are persecuted, fined, imprisoned, tortured, and even killed for practicing their faith. In spite of this suffering and persecution, the church in many areas is growing by leaps and bounds.

How do they do it? What is their secret? The speakers at this conference work directly with persecuted Christians. They will tell touching and moving stories of Christians who have overcome and even died for their faith. They will share how they have built Christ’s Church in the face of great opposition and persecution. Let’s learn from them how to effectively do church when it’s illegal. The time may come when it’s illegal to do church in America. Let’s learn from them how to be victorious in difficult times.
