400 days, since my dad Gao Quanfu was detained. 378 days, since my mom Pang Yu was detained. Both on the charge of "using superstition to undermine the implementation of the law", which later changed to "fraud". For simply following their Christian faith innocently and peacefully. This is the second Father's Day that the only thing I can do is leave a message in our chat, saying thank you dad, we keep praying together. We used to play chess and video games, watch sports, sing worship songs together. He would teach me music and art, God's words, and life, in a way a kid could understand. These memories have come back stronger day by day since his unjust arrest. And now, I begin to understand the bond between a father and his son. I have lost count how many nights I woke up from happy dreams of seeing my parents again. Just last night, I woke up again from another dream saying happily: dad, you are here, where's mom. Before my mom's lawyer's last visit, to encourage my mom, I told her please let my mom know that not only are they not forgotten, we've got even more people supporting, helping and praying for us. Please let her know that my only goal now is to take care of them, prepare a life together with them, in the US. My mom said: son, I will wait and stay by your dad's side no matter what happens. In the meantime, we love you and we miss you. For days, I was unable to process that. Parents nearly 70 years old, our family is completely torn apart. Now, on this Father's Day, I understand better than ever the God given innocence, purity, and simplicity of my parents' life perspective. "I started to meet these old people back then, which gave me the biggest shock in my life, because their simplicity and persistence in vision affected me, allowing me to see the situation of my life and the original response to heaven. Calling, requires a kind of simplicity." - my father Gao Quanfu, from his connection and experience with the last elderly pastors in western part of China. As my mom waits and prays for my dad. I continue to hold on to the memories, dreams, and faith, keep fighting for their freedom until the day we reunite, with friends, families, and many people who helped us along the way. 400 days and counting. "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." - 2 Corinthians 3:17. #FreeGaoQuanfu# #FreePangYu# 400天 - 自从我的父亲高全福被拘押以来。 378天 - 自从我的母亲庞羽被拘押以来。 他们二人最初都被以“涉嫌利用迷信破坏法律实施罪”立案，后来又被改为“诈骗”。 仅仅因为他们无辜、和平地持守自己的基督信仰。 这是第二个父亲节，我能做的唯一事情，就是在我们的聊天记录里留言，对爸爸说：谢谢你，爸爸。我们继续一起祷告。 我们曾经一起下棋、玩电子游戏、看体育比赛、唱敬拜诗歌。他教我音乐、艺术、神的话语，也教我如何面对人生——用一个孩子能够理解的方式。 自从他被不公拘押以来，这些回忆一天比一天更加清晰地回到我的心里。如今，我开始更加理解父亲与儿子之间那份深厚的连接。 我已经数不清多少个夜晚，我从一个幸福的梦中醒来——梦见终于再次见到了我的父母。 就在昨晚，我又一次从梦中醒来，开心地说： “爸，你来了！我妈呢？” 在我妈妈律师最后一次会见她之前，为了鼓励妈妈，我告诉律师，请转告她：他们从来没有被遗忘。现在有更多的人在支持我们、帮助我们、为我们祷告。 请告诉她，我现在唯一的目标，就是照顾他们，和他们一起在美国重新准备未来的生活。 妈妈对我说： “儿子，无论发生什么，我都会等着你爸爸，陪在他身边。同时，我们爱你，也想念你。” 后来的几天，我脑子不知道该怎样消化处理。 年近七十的父母，我们的家庭被彻底撕碎。 而如今，在这个父亲节，我比以往任何时候都更加明白，神所赐给我父母的那份生命中的纯真、单纯，以及他们看待世界的方式。 “那时，我开始认识这些老人，他们给了我人生中最大的震撼。因为他们的单纯和对异象的坚持影响了我，让我开始看见自己生命的处境，以及最初对天的回应。呼召，需要一种单纯。” ——我的父亲高全福，在回忆他与中国西部最后一批年长牧者接触和经历时所写。 如今，妈妈仍在等待并为爸爸祷告。 我也继续守护那些回忆、梦境和信仰，坚持为他们的自由努力，直到我们与朋友、家人，以及一路帮助我们的许多人再次团聚的那一天。 400天，仍在继续。 “主就是那灵，主的灵在哪里，那里就得以自由。” ——《哥林多后书》3:17 #释放高全福牧师# #释放庞羽#

Thank you! This day marks one painful year since my father Gao Quanfu, was unjustly arrested. He would remind me very often to live a simple, clean life with integrity. Even though we cannot communicate with each other, his words ring even more true everyday. My father dedicated himself to his faith more than 40 years ago, he has never sought fame, money, power, or influence, what he wants is pure and simple: follow God, not men - the fundamental value of freedom of religion. On this historic day as Christians in America celebrate Rededicate 250 - with complete and total freedom, I ask you to not forget, and keep advocating and praying for those without. I truly hope one day, soon, I can finally embrace my parents, and Grace can embrace her father, and tell them what this country did for them, and how many people carried us through this journey. As their children, we stood strong, and we made them proud. #FreeGaoQuanFu# #FreePangYu# #FreeEzraJin# 今天，是我父亲高全福被不公逮捕的痛苦一周年。 他曾无数次提醒我，要过简单、干净、正直的生活。虽然我们无法联系，但他的教导却一天比一天更深地刻在我心里。 四十多年前，父亲全心献身信仰，从不追逐名利权力。他只想单纯地跟随神，而不是人——这就是宗教自由的核心价值。 今天，美国基督徒正自由地庆祝 Rededicate 250，我却心怀沉重地恳求大家： 请不要忘记那些仍在为信仰受苦的人，继续为他们发声、祈祷、坚守！ 我多么渴望不久的将来，能紧紧拥抱父母，Grace 也能拥抱她的父亲，亲口告诉他们：这个国家如何帮助我们，有多少好心人一路扶持我们。 作为他们的孩子，我们坚强站立，让他们感到了骄傲。
