It's been a year of profound blessing so far for our Christian brothers and sisters of the Mayflower Church. 
 
After arriving in the United States as legal refugees under humanitarian parole status granted by United States officials in April 2023, every family has been enjoying a new life of freedom. 
 
Since all 64 members moved to Midland Texas at the end of 2023, there's been several beautiful milestones we wanted to share with our faithful partners.
 
At the end of 2023, we had a powerful time of fellowship and prayer with Mayflower members as they settled into a few housing locations. Local news outlet CBS7 wrote a great article about the church's arrival in West Texas. 
 
ChinaAid President Bob Fu and Mayflower Church leader Pastor Pan were even interviewed!

Several Mayflower members are already diligently working at job sites. More members are in the process of submitting resumes and applications for employment.
 
Here's a great photo of several Mayflower members working hard on a cold day!

2024 has also been very special for Pastor Pan and his wife Zipporah
 
They both celebrated their first birthdays free of Chinese Communist persecution this week! Thank you to everyone who sent them well-wishes and prayers on our social media posts.
 
If you'd like to write to the Mayflower Church or a particular family, please mail a letter or card to our office and we will be happy to pass them along!
