Rising Threats and Persecution Spikes in China

Today You Can Rebuild Shattered Lives

Picture this: It's dawn in a quiet Xinjiang village. You hear pounding at your door—authorities bursting in, declaring your home church "illegal." Your savings seized, fines crushing your family's future, all for gathering to worship. This isn't a distant nightmare; it's the reality for leaders like Evangelist Hou Zhuocai and Pastor Xie Rongguang right now. As you read this letter, they're fighting to survive. Will you step into their story and become their lifeline?

In China, over 100 million Christians face escalating persecution under the Communist regime. More than 380 million believers worldwide endure high levels of discrimination, with China ranking 15th on the 2025 World Watch List—up four spots from last year. The government boasts of intensified crackdowns, arresting leaders for "undermining law enforcement" and labeling house churches as cults.

"Chinese Christians are not trying to overthrow the government; they are trying to serve their neighbors, care for the vulnerable, and live out their faith in peace.” 
 

These stories aren't statistics—they're people like you, desiring to worship freely. Through ChinaAid's Families of Persecuted project, your partnership provides direct relief, sustaining families and fueling resilience. Join us in the "Families of Persecuted" project to make a direct impact.

Here is a snapshot of a few of the families you are impacting: 
 

Unjust Raid and Crushing Fines
Imagine the sound of boots storming your home, your faith labeled a crime. In Hotan, Xinjiang, Evangelist Hou Zhuocai and Pastor Xie Rongguang live this nightmare. Their Living Spring House Church was raided, declared illegal, their savings seized, and their ministry crushed under heavy fines.

Picture their families, struggling to survive, yet clinging to hope. Your support can restore their livelihood, provide a safe space for their congregation to worship again, and fund legal battles to challenge this injustice, keeping their faith alive against all odds.

Left Without Providers
In Suizhou, Hubei, stand with 28 house church pastors, like Liu Xuxue and Su Mingai, jailed for their faith, accused of “cult” activities—even for offering premarital counseling. Picture their families, left without providers, facing hunger and fear. Your generosity can deliver immediate relief, support their daily needs, and cover visits to prison, offering hope and strength to these fractured households as they hold fast to their beliefs.

Defying China’s Crackdown
Pastor Chang Hao, disabled from a factory accident, preaches the Gospel boldy and defiantly of China’s crackdown. Detained over twenty times—once for wearing a Bible-verse mask—he refuses to stop sharing God’s love with isolated villages. Imagine his determination, his wife by his side, as they press on. Your gift can provide transportation to carry him to remote believers and sustain their ministry, ensuring their calling endures.
