Before he was killed by an angry mob of the Chinese Cultural Revolution for being a follower of Jesus, his grandfather bequeathed a sacred and illegal treasure to Zhang Rongliang: his Bible.
“My boy, I believe the lord will greatly use you for his purpose,” Grandfather said. “I’m going home now, remember this with all your might. Continue to preach the good news of Jesus Christ whether the time is right or not.”
Zhang Rongliang read the Bible every night secretly in his mountain. When he stumbled across Heb. 10:24-25 “Let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing,” he decided to gather more than his sister and mother for Bible readings.
Soon a brave group of 13 came to hear the word of God.
The Chinese authorities caught on to Zhang and arrested him. When he got out of jail, he found that the entire town believed in Jesus.
He got arrested again. When he got out of jail that time, he found that entire county believed in Jesus.
Today, Zhang leads an underground church believed to number 10 million believers.
