8,828 days! That’s how long U.S. LPR Wang Bingzhang has been unjustly detained in China. 8,828 days without freedom. Without the ordinary life most of us take for granted. Without knowing when, or if, he will ever walk out of prison. Wang Bingzhang was abducted in 2002 & sentenced to life in prison after a closed-door trial for his pro-democracy activism. @POTUS, Wang is 79 years old. He has spent nearly a third of his life in a Chinese prison. He needs your intervention. Please make his release a priority during your talks with President Xi next month. @SecRubio @StateDept @StateSPEHA @USAmbChina @WhiteHouse @Free_WangBZ @tianna_wang @WangBingwu @timeswang @CECCgov @RepMoolenaar @SenJeffMerkley @chinaaid @TheRWCHR

“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!

Catholics Forbidden Even to Buy Bibles at Iconic Cathedral Dear Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), President Xi Jinping, Director Duan Yijun of the National Religious Affairs Administration, Mayor Gong Zheng of Shanghai, Bishop Joseph Shen Bin, Director Chen Chang, Deputy Pan Yuanqing, and Party Secretary Zhou Yan of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ethnic and Religious Affairs: At St. Ignatius Cathedral, 158 Puxi Road, Xujiahui, once a living house of prayer and a wonder of the world, the doors have been closed to visitors since the start of 2026 under claims of renovation. Public worship has ceased for months. In the affiliated store, every shelf was stripped by 1 August. Bibles and the Four Common Prayers vanished. When the faithful asked, the only answer was: “They’re gone, they’re all gone.” What greater emptiness exists than a cathedral without the Word of God? As stewards of heavenly and civil authority, how can the doors of this historic house of prayer remain closed? Open the doors. Return the Bibles. Restore free worship. The eyes of history now wait. #ReligiousFreedomChina# #ShanghaiCatholics# #StIgnatiusCathedral# #ChinaAid# #PersecutedChurch# Photo: “St. Ignatius Cathedral, Shanghai” by 钉钉, CC BY-SA 4.0 Map: OpenStreetMap

Global Prayer Defies China’s Escalating War on Christians More than 6,000 believers from Japan, South Korea, the United States, Australia, and beyond joined a global prayer gathering on August 9, 2026, at Living Jesus Church in Osaka and online. ChinaAid President Bob Fu outlined four intensifying trends of persecution under the CCP’s “Sinicization” policy: dismantling major house churches such as Early Rain and Beijing Zion, criminalizing ordinary worship and collecting biometric data, labeling entire congregations criminal organizations, and extending repression overseas through surveillance and intimidation. Pastor Yang Jun shared the pain of his wife’s imprisonment and family separation while urging prayer for the “Zion 8.” The monthly fasting-and-prayer movement calls the worldwide church to stand with them. #PersecutedChurchChina# #PrayForChina# #ReligiousFreedom# #ChinaAid# #HouseChurchResilience#

73-Year-Old Chinese Pastor Missing: Believers Fear CCP Retaliation for Defending Church Property Nearly five months after authorities took 73-year-old Pastor Wang Sanyuan on March 17, his family in Jinan, Shandong, has received no official word of his whereabouts or status. The respected leader of the registered Changchunli Church, which draws 500–600 worshippers, suffers serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions and has been hospitalized repeatedly. Local believers link his disappearance to a decade-old property dispute in which Wang successfully resisted state efforts to seize the historic church site for commercial redevelopment. In 2009–2010, officials and police clashed with congregants, injuring at least 27. Stand with Pastor Wang and China’s faithful—share this story, pray for his safe return, and urge global leaders to demand answers now.

Chinese Pastors Sentenced for Hosting Weddings and Home Worship Three leaders of Maizhong Reformed Church in Fuyang, Anhui Province, were sentenced on August 10 to prison terms of up to one year and seven months for “organizing illegal gatherings.” Zhang Sensen received one year and seven months, Chang Shun one year and six months, and Ma Shutao one year and four months. Prosecutors cited home worship, weddings, and religious instruction after authorities shut the independent congregation in 2023. Families condemned the verdicts, noting the men were punished for ordinary pastoral work. Wives reported threats against them and their children during interrogations. ChinaAid President Bob Fu called the sentences part of a broader campaign treating unregistered Christian worship as criminal under Xi Jinping’s Sinicization policy. ChinaAid demands their immediate release. Stand with China’s persecuted believers—share this story, pray for Zhang, Chang, and Ma, and urge governments to hold Beijing accountable.

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.

After Police Raid, Three House Church Believers Face Criminal Charges—Families Left in Crisis Police raided a gathering of Panshi Bible Church in Yueyang, Hunan Province, on the night of July 11, detaining founder Pastor Huang Shi Tou, 60, along with Yang Jianjun and Hu Hongtao. Authorities initially imposed 15 days of administrative detention for “illegally organizing religious activities.” When that period ended July 26, the three were transferred to criminal detention on the charge of “illegal use of information networks.” Pastor Huang later met his attorney, but the others have been denied counsel and family visits. Hu’s wife is 33 weeks pregnant and learned her father is critically ill; Pastor Huang’s wife has a chronic illness requiring his care; Yang suffers from tuberculosis and is held under hospital supervision. The unregistered church, founded in 2022, continues to urge prayer and respect for legal rights amid prolonged uncertainty. Stand with these detained believers—share their story, pray for their families, and amplify the call for religious freedom in China today.
