- [Lucille] Chaos erupted

in various districts of Hong Kong

as police used forceto disperse protestors

who turned out in big numbersdespite being denied permits.

Angry Hong Kong residents

are sending a strong message to China

over its threat to its democratic rights

as the People's Republiccelebrates its 70th anniversary.

President Xi said no force,not Hong Kong protestors

or a US trade war, can stop China's rise.

He also vowed a betterrelationship with Hong Kong,

but democracy protestorssay they want to see China

take steps in the right direction

by granting the right touniversal suffrage among others.

Pro-democracy student leader Joshua Wong

is optimistic that this can still happen,

especially after givingtestimony before the US Congress

where the Hong Kong human rights bill

is close to gaining approval.

Joshua Wong told CBN News:

- When the Hong Kong HumanRights and Democracy Act

has already passed both in the Senate

and House committee level,I think with such progress,

it will just encourage Hong Kong people

to aware that how international community

stand with Hong Kong.

- [Lucille] In the midst of the protests,

a group of Christians have come out

of the four walls of the church

to minister to the young protesters.

- There's a spirit of sacrifice.

They come from their love.

They don't want the children get hurt.

- This is the team of Pastor Roy

and their goal is to stand in the gap.

They brave the rubberbullets, the tear gas,

and the rallies just toprotect the young people.

- Most of them got love.

They know what God doing,what church have been done.

They love church more.

I think I see the Godhand, a big love hand.
