Zion Church Families Urge an End to Persecution of Defense Lawyers 
 

In a moving joint statement, families of 18 detained pastors and co-workers from Beijing Zion Church have raised their voices after 165 days of separation. Their loved ones remain held in Beihai City detention centers on charges related to “illegal use of information networks.” Now the families face fresh anguish as the lawyers defending them endure systematic pressure—including investigations, warnings, forced suspensions, and threats of license revocation. These faithful families protest this assault on the right to a fair trial, calling it a violation of basic legal dignity. Continue Reading...

In the Shadow of New Laws, Chinese House Churches Cling to Hope

On January 6, 2026, police raided homes linked to Chengdu’s Early Rain Covenant Church, detaining Elder Li Yingqiang, his wife Zhang Xinyue, preacher Dai Zhichao, Ye Fenghua, and others. Their two young children, ages 11 and 14, spent a frightening night at the station before being released to their family. The couple and several core members now face charges of “inciting subversion of state power” while held in Deyang Detention Center. 

This escalation follows the new Public Security Administration Punishments Law, effective January 1, 2026, which explicitly targets “illegal religious activities,” including offline gatherings and online sharing. Yet amid sealed facilities, surveillance, and family exhaustion, these believers support one another, continue quiet prayer, and proclaim the Gospel with unwavering trust in God’s presence. 

Pray with us: Lord, we pray for Early Rain Covenant Church, Beijing Zion Church, and all the brothers and sisters in Christ who are detained right now. We pray that You would comfort them and their families. We pray for continued provision to cover legal fees and support for their families.

Falun Gong Believers Seek Justice in America’s Highest Court
(When Technology Enables Persecution)

Falun Gong adherents in China, targeted for their peaceful spiritual practice, have endured state-sponsored identification, apprehension, and torture—often aided by advanced surveillance tools. On March 26, 2026, the Washington Litigation Group filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Cisco v. Doe I, supporting Reverend Bob Fu of ChinaAid and other defenders of religious freedom.

The plaintiffs allege that Cisco supplied customized technology that facilitated the Chinese government’s crackdown on Falun Gong believers. Rev. Dr. Bob Fu emphasized, “Religious persecution in China is not only carried out by the state—it is too often enabled by technology and silence.” Continue Reading...
 

Pray With Us:
Lord, we pray Matthew 10:26-28 for this case. “Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.”

3,152 Days Missing: Bob Fu Calls on Trump to Confront Xi

In this exclusive ChinaAid interview, Dr. Bob Fu — founder of ChinaAid and a survivor of CCP persecution — breaks the silence on the enforced disappearance of Gao Zhisheng, China’s “Conscience of China." Missing since August 13, 2017, for over 3,152 days, Dr. Fu reveals Gao’s courageous fight for religious freedom, Falun Gong practitioners, house church Christians, Uyghurs, and the vulnerable — and the brutal torture he endured for speaking truth to power.

This sobering conversation calls on President Trump, Congress, and the world to demand one simple question: Where is Gao Zhisheng? WATCH NOW
