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#
