Update On The Jeju 'Mayflower' Church
Thank you to everyone who has been praying and standing alongside the Jeju 'Mayflower' church. The group faces an uncertain future as their asylum applications have been denied by South Korean officials.
A report from this week detailed how the Korean office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees reached out. Per the translated article "They provided him [Pastor Pan] with lawyers’ contact information and contacted local charity groups to donate food and winter clothes. They also helped two pregnant women get medical insurance. Pastor Pan is very grateful for their help. But no substantial change has happened to their situation yet."
Please keep praying and spreading the word about the church's plight to your family and friends! ChinaAid and our partners are doing everything we can to support the Mayflower Church as they seek to find safe refuge free from persecution.
You can make a gift by clicking here to encourage the Mayflower Church congregants and help cover legal costs and fees related to their petitions for asylum.
Christianity Today also wrote an article about the church last week - follow this link to check it out.
Please keep Pastor Pan and the entire Mayflower Church in your prayers
Although I cannot physically be there with everyone, my heart has never left any of you. My gratitude and longing are unending; when I think about the past, I am reminded of us setting out to begin work across the horizons of the earth; we have the same hope towards the future, I may have stumbled and fallen, it was everyone who helped me to stand back up on my feet, I would like to pray steadfastly for everyone to smoothly leap forward.
John Cao wrote a collection of poems entitled Living Lyrics: Poems from Prison, which ChinaAid translated and released. Order a copy at this link and please leave a review on the platform you bought it from! It also can be found at several non-US retailers.
Please continue to keep Pastor Cao and his family in your prayers.
A Busy Week For ChinaAid President Bob Fu
This last week featured Bob traveling to speak at a church and the release of a few notable interviews and videos.
Last weekend, Bob traveled to Eagles View Church in Fort Worth to share about the persecution he went through in Communist China and how the American church can pray for the persecuted and China. Watch the message by following this link.
Bob also sat down with Midland Texas Mayor Patrick Payton on the Mayor's 'No Neutral Moments' podcast. Listen to the interview between Mayor Payton and Bob by clicking here.
Finally, Bob also took time to film another episode of the Bob Fu Report - found on God's Learning Channel and on YouTube! The latest episode features Bob discussing the 'subversion of state power' charge Chinese officials often levy against Christians.
You're able to visit ChinaAid's YouTube page to watch previous editions of the Bob Fu Report.
Kazakhstan: Fascist Torture and Xinjiang Model Replicated
In the latest article within the 'Voices From Global Freedom Fighters' section of ChinaAid's website, Serikzhan Bilash and Laila Adilzhan write how "Kazakh authorities, openly hostile to Kazakhs who immigrated from Xinjiang China, have arrested, abused, and incarcerated many in Kazakhstan prisons. There, officials also implement fascist torture and replicate the Xinjiang model in Kazakhstan."
Visit ChinaAid's website to see a few interviews about persecution in Kazakhstan.
As you may recall, ChinaAid helped rescue Serikzhan's family to the Netherlands so they could seek asylum. Dutch officials detained Michael Horowitz and his wife Devra Marcus on suspicion of human trafficking, but the situation was resolved and both are home safely in America.
Please keep all those facing persecution in Kazakhstan in your prayers
