Lead Story: How ChinaAid is Rallying Allies Against China's Religious Purge

Amid China's escalating religious crackdowns, including the October 2025 arrests of nearly 30 Zion Protestant Church leaders and ongoing Uyghur genocide, Dr. Bob Fu led a ChinaAid delegation to Taiwan on December 5. They met Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim, Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung, and other officials to discuss U.S.-Taiwan cooperation on religious freedom and humanitarian aid for persecuted communities.

Focusing on Hong Kong families exiled in the U.S. due to CCP oppression, the group exchanged insights with Pastor Zhou Shenzhu and urged abandoning all idols for biblical truth. This mission underscores resilient faith against tyranny, inspiring global solidarity. 

Story #2: Detained Pastor's Bible and a Child's Terror and a Mother's Despair

In China's intensifying assault on underground churches, detained Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri of Beijing Zion Church has gained access to a Bible in his cell—a hard-won concession after his lawyer's eighth visit. Yet, a poignant prayer letter from Ren Zhong exposes the human cost: his wife Wang Cong's arrest has triggered his mother's severe depression relapse, with heart palpitations and despairing thoughts, while their three-year-old daughter remains traumatized by the midnight raid.

Bail denied despite Wang's history of charitable work, 18 of 23 arrested members endure detention since October. Their steadfast faith amid turmoil calls for global vigilance. Stand with China's persecuted Christians—share this story, and pray for their release. Learn More

Story #3: Kazakhstan Crushes Anti-China Rally
In a bold act of resistance, Kazakh citizens burned Chinese flags and Xi Jinping's portrait on November 13, 2025, demanding the release of Alimnur Turganbay, a 47-year-old truck driver who vanished in Xinjiang after detention for alleged "dual nationality." Organized by human rights group Atajurt Eriktileri in a Uyghur-populated border region, the protest drew swift crackdowns: 18 arrested, including Turganbay's wife and a pregnant woman, facing up to 10 years for inciting ethnic hatred.

This echoes CCP tactics suppressing Muslim minorities through mass internment and forced disappearances—UN-labeled crimes against humanity. Amid Beijing's economic leverage in Central Asia, families vow to persist, urging global solidarity against transnational repression. Stand with Kazakh victims of CCP persecution—share their stories, demand detainee releases, and join ChinaAid to defend religious freedom worldwide! Learn More

Story #4: The Raid That Shuttered Two Churches and Jailed Their Pastor
In rural Zhenxiong County, Yunnan Province, disabled preacher Chang Hao has endured decades of harassment for refusing state-sanctioned churches and for addressing social injustice. After founding Thanksgiving and Peace Reformed Churches, he faced repeated summons and detentions.

In 2023, authorities raided his home, seizing Bibles and devices, detaining him for 13 months on "picking quarrels" charges. Released in 2024, Chang continued ministry, baptizing 13 new believers—only for police to storm the ceremony, arresting over 40, including visiting Pastor John Cao. Now under surveillance, the churches remain shuttered for over a year, members dispersed amid a nationwide crackdown on unregistered congregations. Yet, faith persists in quiet resilience, awaiting restoration.

Story #5: Banned Bibles, Shattered Crosses: How Persecuted Chinese Churches Are Thriving Under Fire
In a critical interview with Theovox TV, China Aid founder Dr. Bob Fu exposed Xi Jinping's "full-scale war on faith," the most severe since the Cultural Revolution. He detailed the "War Against the Cross," where pastors like Bao Guohua face 12-14 years for refusing to remove crosses; the ban on Bibles and youth in churches; and mass arrests of leaders, including 30 from Beijing Zion Church since October.

Despite raids, detentions, and transnational repression reaching even in Texas, Fu highlighted exponential church growth—even in prisons. This resilience underscores the human cost: families torn apart, yet faith endures amid oppression. Stand with China's persecuted Christians: Pray, share their stories, and watch interview here.

 
Urgent Prayer for China’s Persecuted Christians
  • Lord, we cry for mercy for the Kazakh families affected by the latest arrests. We especially pray for the expecting mother; we pray for peace and protection of her and her baby. Strengthen Alimnur Turganbay wherever he may be, and we pray for a prompt release.
  • Father, we thank you for Theovox TV raising awareness and exposing China’s human rights abuses to the French-speaking world. We pray great advocacy and action would come from this interview. 
  • Lord, we celebrate with Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri as he gains access to Your Word. We cry out for mercy for Ren Zhong and Wang Cong’s family. We pray healing from trauma for the daughter, and we pray you strengthen the mother’s health. 
  • Father, we bless Chang Hao and his family. He has endured so much; we pray his faith would not fail, only continue to grow. Comfort even now wherever he may be. 
  • Lord, we pray for great wisdom and strategy, and action would come from Bob Fu’s meeting with Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim and Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung. 
  • Heavenly Father, we bless the Christmas Bible campaign. Move upon the hearts of your people to send Bibles into China this Christmas. 
 

Don't Let the CCP Silence the Christmas Story!
Imagine your child being lined up in the school auditorium, policemen behind them, forced to read aloud: “Jesus is superstition. I renounce Him forever”—or watch you lose your job and your grandparents lose their pension. This is happening to Christian children across China right now. 

Pastor Bob Fu says, “The CCP is waging total war against the next generation’s soul. The only weapon strong enough to defeat darkness is the Bible.” 

This Christmas, you can arm a child with truth that no regime can burn away. For $5 you give one child the Christmas story the CCP calls poison.

"On June 20, the judge came to the detention center and pronounced that I had been sentenced to 15 years. This is a great crown given to me by God. At that time, my first words to the judge were: The sentence was too light. That day, I was perfectly calm in my thoughts and had my emotions under control, as heavenly peace and joy were with me."
- Pastor Yang Rongli of Linfen Golden Lampstand Church
