“I Will Not Rest Until They Are Free” Chinese Pastor Receives Lantos Prize One Year After CCP Detention One year after his arrest, Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri, founder of Beijing Zion Church, has been named the recipient of the 2026 Lantos Human Rights Prize. Detained for nine months during a sweeping CCP crackdown and released in July after President Trump raised his case with Xi Jinping, Jin reunited with his family in the U.S. Yet eight fellow pastors and members remain imprisoned under harsh conditions. “I will not rest from speaking out until they are free and reunited with their loved ones,” Jin declared. The award recognizes his unyielding courage amid ongoing religious persecution in China. Global voices must amplify the call for their release. Stand with the persecuted: share Pastor Jin’s story and demand the release of the eight Zion Church leaders still detained in China!

Bible Access Blocked: CCP Control Leaves Several Millions Without Bibles A new 2026 Bible Access Initiative study of 106 nations finds more than 500 million Christians worldwide face restricted Scripture access, including 5-10 million in China. With roughly 97 million believers, China ranks among the top nations for Bible shortages. The state permits printing only through the approved Amity Press under strict quotas and limits distribution to registered Three-Self churches. House-church gatherings routinely face raids that confiscate Bibles and materials, while online sharing and apps are blocked. Youth under 18 are barred from church activities, cutting off the next generation. Believers persist in seeking God’s Word despite surveillance and penalties, highlighting both the scale of the barriers and the enduring hunger for Scripture. Stand with Chinese believers denied Scripture—share this report, pray for open access, and support efforts to deliver Bibles safely today.

Basement Bible Study Ends in Detention: Hunan Police Lock Down House Church Police in Leiyang City, Hunan Province, sealed a basement house church near a local hot spring and ordered its Christian organizer detained for 15 days, according to a redacted administrative penalty decision issued on September 21 by the Leiyang City Public Security Bureau. The believer, who began practicing the faith in 2014, had purchased and renovated the space where dozens gathered on Sundays for evangelism and Bible study. Authorities cited the organizer’s statements, witness testimony, surveillance footage, and seized religious materials as conclusive evidence of illegal religious activities under Article 31 of the Public Security Administration Punishments Law. Stand with believers in Hunan—share this report, pray for the detained organizer, and urge leaders to defend religious freedom now.

Arrested Again After Eight Years in Prison: Early Rain Member Chen Yunfei Seized in Chengdu Authorities in Chengdu’s Wenjiang District formally arrested Early Rain Covenant Church member and veteran dissident Chen Yunfei on September 23 on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” His detention began in August in Gansu Province; when administrative custody expired on August 17, Subei officers transferred him to Chengdu police instead of releasing him. Relatives received no written notice. Chen, a participant in the 1989 democracy movement, was freed in March 2025 after a four-year sentence—his second imprisonment since 2015, totaling roughly eight years. Despite surveillance, a January assault, and pressure to relocate, he continued Early Rain prayer gatherings and community service until this latest seizure amid the church’s ongoing crackdown. Stand with Chen Yunfei and Early Rain believers. Share their story, pray for their release, and defend religious freedom in China today.

Superstition or Faith? China Closes Hundreds of Centers and Confiscates Property Under Marxist Test A Liaoning court has sentenced eight people linked to Create Abundance to seven to nine months in prison under Criminal Law Article 300 for “using superstition to undermine the implementation of law.” The Xinmin Municipal People’s Court tried the defendants on January 9, 2025; none appealed. Authorities cast the group, founded by Zhang Xinyue, as a criminal organization promoting “cosmic energy” and “spiritual healing.” ChinaAid warns that treating theism and spiritual teaching as criminal evidence under Marxist standards endangers every independent community of conscience. Demand fair trials and an end to belief-based prosecutions—share this report and urge governments to press China for independent review of the seizures.
