Wang Bingzhang Needs Medical Care
ChinaAid's media team reported on the plight of well-known jailed Chinese dissident Wang Bingzhang, who had eight of his teeth fall out in the past few months. Wang is being held in solitary confinement and was sentenced to life in prison in 2003 after being kidnapped by CCP agents in Vietnam. Here's how you can write a letter to Wang to encourage him.
Pray for Wang and for his miraculous healing, and for his family and CCP persecutors.
New Family Pledge To Not Have Religion
Some kindergartens in Wenzhou's Longwan district issued a pledge to parents compelling them to agree not to hold religious beliefs. Here's why the mandate targeting families is the first of its kind according to a ChinaAid source.
Pray for all schoolchildren in Wenzhou, their teachers and parents, and CCP persecutors.
Pastor Li Jintao Arrested After Raid
In a Sunday service, Pastor Li Jintao was arrested along with four other believers in Nanchang. Pastor Li was invited to speak at the church and was nearly 500 miles from home when he was taken to the police station. Those arrested were released by Sunday evening, but all in attendance were required to write down their personal information for the police.
Pray for Pastor Li, his family, all church members, and the CCP persecutors.
