A Chinese Christian man was sentenced to 10 days in jail this week for the act of “illegal evangelism” as the Communist Party escalates its crackdown on street evangelism.

Chen Wensheng, who is part of the Xiaoqun Church in Hengyang, located in China’s Hunan province, was sentenced on Aug. 3 after authorities detained him because of his evangelistic activity, persecution watchdog China Aid reports.

A street evangelist, Chen often carries a wooden cross inscribed with the words “Glory to our Savior” and “Repent and Be Saved by Faith” as he shares the Gospel with passersby. CP.
