Chinese Government Cracks Down on Leading Christian Prayer App, Bans It from Download

The latest app to face the axe is Pray.com, a platform filled with faith-based content, daily Bible-reading plans, and spiritual development programs. The app, according to a press release issued this week, is being removed from the Apple App Store in mainland China.

Its removal from the App Store in the communist country falls under the purview of China's "Measures for the Administration of Internet Religious Information Services," which went into effect in March 2022.

According to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, an independent agency of the US government monitoring human rights in China, the restrictions put in place in 2022 require a government-issued permit to post religious content and outright ban the online airing of religious ceremonies, events, and worship services.

The removal of the Pray.com app comes ahead of the National Day of Prayer on May 2... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
