The China Aid Association is a non-profit Christian organization - based in Midland, Texas - with a mission to uncover and reveal the truth about religious persecution in China, focusing especially on the unofficial church. They do this, they explain in their website, by exposing the abuses, encouraging the abused and equipping the saints to advance the kingdom of God throughout China.

“If you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you (Matthew 17:20).” This is what is happening in China today—more and more Chinese are sowing this mustard seed and seeking the salvation of Jesus Christ.
According to some reports, there are 53 million Christians in China; others put it at 160 million. It is difficult to find accurate, official figures because the Chinese government systematically conceals or distorts the truth when it doesn’t suit its agenda. What seems to be apparent, though, is that the government’s fear is growing with this fast growth of the Christian faith among Chinese.
As usual, the Chinese government’s response to its own fear is the use of force to intimidate its people. As an old Chinese saying goes, “you can send a frightening signal to a monkey by killing a chicken in front of him.
