Protests in Hong Kong & Bibles from China

A Bird’s-Eye View of How Protesters Have Flooded Hong Kong Streets

Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets of Hong Kong on Sunday, June 16, and marched almost two miles (three kilometers), protesting a proposed extradition bill and calling for the city’s leader to step down.
