CAG Christians also screened a video showcasing moments from their lives in Italy, including their participation in volunteer and human rights activities. Seeing CAG Christians who have been persecuted by the CCP remain steadfast in their faith while living abroad, all attendees were deeply moved. One of them remarked, “I admire their strong faith and enjoy speaking with them. These Christians are all very kind.”
