In the end times God is going to use the poor, weak and foolish (in the eyes of the world) to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth as a last days witness. The underground Church in China is one example of how God is going to accomplish a vibrant witness of the Good News to the world before the coming of Christ.

“Many of our missionaries will be captured, tortured, and martyred for the sake of the Gospel, but that will not stop us. The Chinese Church is willing to pay the price.”
These precious believers believe the Bible truth that our Lord taught us: “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”
They believe that imprisonment and death will not mean failure but success as the Gospel will go forward inch by inch through the testimony of Jesus Christ in these precious end times martyrs.
They are not building church buildings as they do this work or large ministry headquarters but are accomplishing this work in an underground fashion just as the Lord is working through them in China. This allows house Churches to spread rapidly, to be flexible and thus give all resources to the spreading of the Gospel.
“The Chinese Church is not strong in human terms. We don’t have a lot of money or any grandiose plans. But we are an army of little ants, worms, and termites who know how to work underground, because that is how we have learned to work in China for decades.

“Christianity was birthed in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and will only continue as we have this empowering from above. God is always looking for the willing vessels that will trust Him afresh for the impossible.” from: Principles for the gathering of Believers under the Headship of Jesus Christ.Since 2012, a growing group of believers in North America started to warn of coming persecution to western countries. This message was shared in a variety of ways. One of the responses to this was to compile a book taking principles from underground Churches around the world of how they thrived under pressure and persecution. The volume, Principles for the Gathering of Believers, had in a short time over 50,000 downloads in ebook format and much interest was shown. Some new house churches started through this and other existing groups were encouraged.
