June 2023 Action
We join China Aid and Christian Solidarity Worldwide in encourage Pastor Wang Yi, imprisoned in Chian for his faith. Pastor Wang Yi was detained along with over 100 other members of Early Rain Church on 9 December 2018, in a large-scale crackdown by the authorities. He is serving a nine-year prison sentence for “inciting to subvert state power” and “illegal business operations” In October 2021, he was allowed to receive a visit from his wife for the first time. These are the words Pastor Wang Yi reportedly wrote after his trial: “If anyone attacks me, I will be as meek as a lamb. If anyone attacks the church, I will be as brave as a lion. If this is from the Lord, I will not open my mouth. I gave my opinion on those in power out of love rather than hatred...Only by being obedient when arrested could I let all see that I was truly motivated by love.”
