Elder Hao Ming refuses to confess
ChinaAid learned that officials are urging Elder Hao Ming of Deyang Qingcaodi Reformed Church to accept the charges against him and change lawyers in exchange for his release. Elder Hao was accused of "fraud" for collecting tithes in a December 2022 court case. More on how Elder Hao plans to not 'betray God.'
Pray for Elder Hao, his legal team, family, and his persecutors.
Penalties upheld against Shengjia Church
Sadly, officials have upheld penalties against several Shengjia Church members. Several, including Elder Zhu Longfei, were fined for "organizing illegal religious activities" after a May 2023 raid against the congregation. Partner with Shengjia Church's legal team to help advocate for these brave believers!
Pray for all Shengjia Church members and their persecutors.
