With movement restrictions put in place due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Christians in China are reading the Bible more.
Authorities have been banning collective gatherings and imposing extended holidays for schools and companies. Travel has been restricted, with some cities allowing only one or two household members to leave home to buy daily essentials. Sometimes they are only allowed out once in five days.
In a village known as Longchi in Sichuan province, there’s a church located in the Ermei Mountains. The church used to hold Bible meetings three times a week for more than 400 believers, but with church meetings suspended these believers are spending more time than ever before doing their own Bible reading.
