The preacher of a house church in Taiyuan, who was detained last November, has been detained again along with five women after their Bible study at the preacher’s home.

Almost 40 people from the local authority raided the home of An Yankui, the preacher of Xuncheng Church, as he was having an evening Bible study with a small group of church members.

According to An’s wife, Yao Conya, choir robes and books that belong to the church were confiscated, before the preacher and five women were taken away. Since Yao had to take care of her child, they left her alone.
