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.
