I am very happy to share with you today that one of the prisoners of the faith has now been released. I would ask that you continue to pray for this dear saint because he is faithful and still being threatened.
LOS ANGELES, September 18 (Compass Direct News) – Chinese house church leader Cai Zhuohua, jailed since 2004 for “illegal business practices” by distributing Christian literature, has been released with stern warnings to stop practicing his faith outside of the government-sanctioned church. Bob Fu of China Aid Association told Compass that on Thursday (September 13), three days after Cai’s release on September 10, officials of the Public Security Bureau took the well-known Beijing house church pastor to their offices and tried to intimidate him with threats. “They warned him to be careful – not to be interviewed, to obey the law and not attend religious activities,” Fu said. Officials from the National Security Bureau – China’s equivalent of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency – on two occasions gave Cai similar warnings before he was released, Fu said.
