“I Won’t Sign” Police Interrogate Elementary Children for Hours in Schools In Yueyang, Hunan Province, police entered several primary and secondary schools and individually questioned children from Christian families for three to four hours, local Christians reported. Officers pressured the students to sign documents accusing their house churches of religious “brainwashing.” Professor Liu’s elementary-school-aged son, who regularly reads the Bible, began crying under pressure. “I don’t know anything. I want to go home. I won’t sign. Don’t force me,” he said. Another child remained silent and refused. The youngest questioned was a first grader. Some students signed; others refused despite fear. Stand with these children under pressure: share their story, pray for their courage, and advocate for religious freedom in China today.

Police Evict 20-Year House Church in Guangzhou (Gospel Fans Seized) Police in Guangzhou’s Baiyun District forced Guangfu Church from its rented meeting space after seizing Gospel materials on September 16–17, 2026. Pastor Lv and two female believers had distributed hand fans printed with Bible verses and messages of salvation near a school. Authorities, citing a public report of “promoting a cult,” searched homes, confiscated 100–200 fans and roughly 100 canvas bags without receipts, and ordered the church to vacate by 5 p.m. despite a valid lease. Questioned at Toupi Police Station, believers faced threats of administrative detention and inquiries into their children’s schools. As of September 30, members faced uncertainty over where they could gather, yet continued seeking ways to worship freely.

“Unconscionable and Inhumane”: Son Reveals CCP Fraud Charges Against Elderly House Church Leaders In Xi’an, three leaders of the Light of Zion Church face lengthy prison terms after prosecutors charged them with fraud for receiving voluntary offerings and tithes. Pastor Gao Quanfu, 69, was detained in May 2025, followed by his wife Pang Yu and Pastor Tang Bingyi. Formal criminal detention followed in September. Defense attorneys have been repeatedly threatened. Authorities reclassified church donations as criminal proceeds, a tactic critics say aims to suppress independent worship. Gao’s son Gao Pu declared the treatment of his elderly parents “unconscionable and inhumane.” As China’s house churches endure intensifying pressure, these faithful leaders remain steadfast, their case underscoring the urgent need to defend religious freedom. Stand with Light of Zion Church, share this story, pray for their release, and advocate for religious freedom today!

Shanghai Police Detain 7 Christians from Underground Church Pastor David Tang, founder of Wenzhou’s Purpose Driven Church, and six fellow Christians disappeared after Shanghai police detained them in a cross-provincial raid on August 5, 2026. The group, including a church financial administrator and five Shanghai ministry workers, remains incommunicado, with authorities refusing to disclose charges or locations. The independent congregation, popular among young professionals, had refused to join the state-controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement and continued meeting underground. ChinaAid president Bob Fu stated the secret detentions show the Chinese Communist Party escalating intimidation and enforced disappearances against unregistered churches, often masking religious persecution with criminal accusations. Families and advocates demand immediate disclosure of their whereabouts, access to counsel, and unconditional release amid ongoing pressure on Wenzhou’s Christian community. Stand with Pastor Tang and the six missing believers: share this story, pray for their release, and urge global leaders to demand religious freedom in China now.
