For four weeks the faithful of Shouwang house Church, one of the most influential country with over 1,000 members, have been gathering on the streets to pray, after the authorities evicted them from the premises they used. Since 1993, the faithful have been sent away from their places of worship at least 20 times and have always gathered to pray in the streets, waiting to find other premises. This time, however, for 4 Sundays they have been prevented, with police arresting the faithful as they arrive and keeping them in jail for a night or two.
