Secret Church
How can you be church, when religious meetings are banned?
How can you learn from God’s Word, when you can’t get a Bible?
How do you worship, when your neighbour – or even the person worshipping next to you – might be a spy?
Millions of Christians across the world must worship in secret. They cannot gather in a church building – because buildings are banned. They don’t have a Bible because it’s too dangerous. They can’t even sing to God in anything above a whisper.
They are the secret church. Their gatherings are dangerous and illegal.
And yet still they dare to meet: under cover of darkness; in caves, forests and cellars; in apartments and houses.
And this is your chance to join them. Just for a while.
What is Secret Church?
Secret Church gives a taste of what it is like to worship with the world’s hidden Christians. It uses approaches from underground church meetings all around the world, ‘translated’ into a session outline for you to use with your group or church.
- Worship in whispers, learn scriptures in secret, pray for hidden believers
- Read stories from secret Christians in places like China, North Korea and Central Asia
- Deliver a full 60-minute session or mix and match activities to suit the time you have available
- Optional extra session helps participants to reflect on their experience.
New for 2023/24: Digital Surveillance Edition
In this new, updated edition, we focus on the issue of digital surveillance. Digital surveillance tools are being used against our persecuted brothers and sisters. But this is not stopping them from reaching out to others and sharing the gospel.
