Heilongjiang, China - Members of China's Bureau of Religion surrounded a house church meeting as it was taking place on November 10, 2010, according to chinaaid.org.  The general ledger of the church was confiscated along with a receipt by Director Yuan from the Shunagcheng Municipal Bureau for Ethnic and Religious affairs.
 
Since Liu Ziaobo was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize and the convening of the Lausanne Congress, the Chinese government has increased their suppression of house churches.
 
Pastor Bob Fu believes that such persecution can only heighten unity among churches and promote the integration of house churches throughout China and the world.  "It is just as Lord Jesus Christ said to Saul when he persecuted him, "It is hard for you to kick against the goads (pricks)."
 
The oppression experienced by Shengshan Church and Dr. Fan Yafeng, Leader of Christian Human Rights Lawyers of China, has especially aroused strong resentment from Christians across China and serious concern from the international community.
