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.
