ChinaAid Welcomes Release of Pastor Ezra Jin to US, Calls for Freedom for All Prisoners of Faith MIDLAND, Texas — July 5, 2026 — ChinaAid welcomes with profound gratitude the release of imprisoned Chinese house church pastor Ezra Jin (Pastor Jin), who arrived safely in Los Angeles on July 4, 2026, after being released directly from detention in China. According to information received by ChinaAid from trusted sources, Pastor Jin was released from detention and transported to the United States in an extraordinary diplomatic arrangement. Chinese officials reportedly informed him that his release resulted from discussions between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and was presented as a goodwill gesture coinciding with America’s Independence Day. Pastor Jin had spent months in detention because of his Christian faith and ministry. His unexpected freedom is an answer to countless prayers offered by Christians around the world and demonstrates once again that sustained international advocacy can save lives and restore freedom. “We rejoice with Pastor Ezra Jin, his family, and the global Body of Christ on this remarkable Independence Day miracle,” said Rev. Dr. Bob Fu, Founder and President of ChinaAid. “We thank Almighty God for hearing the prayers of His people. We are deeply grateful to President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and all U.S. officials who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure Pastor Jin’s freedom. Their unwavering commitment demonstrates that principled leadership and persistent diplomacy can make a life-saving difference.” Dr. Fu continued: “While we celebrate Pastor Jin’s freedom, our hearts remain with the countless pastors including 8 other jailed pastors and coworkers from Zion Church, priests, bishops, house church Christians, Uyghur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners, and other prisoners of conscience who remain unjustly imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party. We respectfully call on President Trump and his Administration to continue making religious freedom and the release of all prisoners of faith a top priority in every engagement with Beijing. True progress in U.S.-China relations must include freedom for those imprisoned simply because they choose to believe.” ChinaAid also expresses its appreciation to members of Congress, international religious freedom advocates, churches, and countless individuals around the world whose prayers and advocacy helped keep Pastor Jin’s case before senior U.S. officials. As Americans celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Pastor Jin’s arrival on American soil serves as a powerful reminder that the universal longing for religious liberty transcends national borders. ChinaAid will continue to advocate tirelessly until every prisoner jailed for peacefully exercising his or her faith is released. “Freedom for Pastor Jin is a tremendous victory,” Dr. Fu added. “But our work is not finished until every prisoner of faith is free.” Media Contact: ChinaAid Association Email: media@chinaaid.org

Statement About Guo Wengui’s 30 years Criminal Sentence today June 30, 2026 Today, self-exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui (also known as Miles Kwok) was sentenced to 30 years in U.S. federal prison following his fraud conviction. For my family and ChinaAid, this is more than just a financial fraud case. Guo was the ringleader of the coordinated harassment campaign against my family and our organization in 2020, when paid protesters threatened and intimidated us outside our home in Midland, Texas, for nearly three months. While today’s sentence cannot undo the harm inflicted on my family and many others, it demonstrates that no one is above the law. Justice may be delayed, but it should not be denied. We hope this outcome sends a clear message that those who orchestrate intimidation, harassment, and criminal misconduct—regardless of their wealth or political influence—will ultimately be held accountable. 傅希秋牧師針對郭文貴被聯邦法院以金融詐騙罪今天刑事判決30年監獄的聲明 （中文版） 今天，流亡美國的中國富商郭文貴（Miles Kwok）因詐欺等罪名被美國聯邦法院判處30年監禁。對我和對華援助協會而言，這不僅是一宗金融詐騙案件的判決，更是遲來的公義。 2020年，郭文貴策劃並資助了一場針對我家人及對華援助協會長達近三個月的騷擾行動，雇用人員在我位於德州米德蘭的住所前持續進行威脅、恐嚇與滋擾，嚴重影響我們一家人的安全與正常生活。 今天的判決雖然無法抹去我和許多受害者所承受的傷害，但再次證明，在法治社會中，沒有人可以凌駕於法律之上。公義或許會遲到，但終究不會缺席。我們也期待，這項判決能向所有企圖以金錢、權勢或恐嚇手段傷害他人的人發出明確的信息：無論其財富或影響力有多大，都必須為自己的違法犯罪行為承擔法律責任。 傅希秋牧師 2026年6月30日 附華爾街日報今天就判決的相關報導：
