Cult seeks converts on the mainland

A resurgent cult headquartered in Taiwan has been found actively soliciting members on the Chinese mainland as well as in areas overseas recently, according to a report from Beijing News.

The Blood of Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit Full Gospel Mission, one of the seven cults identified by the State Council in 1995, organizes services at residential buildings in Beijing and Shandong province, and hires believers as cheap laborers for its catering businesses, according to the report published on Monday.

One member said he joined the Sunday gathering of the organization's local branch at a preacher's home after being told about it by a neighbor.
