On June 9, several dozen Chinese officials from the Domestic
Security Protection Squad barged into Pastor Li Ming’s home in
Langzhong city, Sichuan province, where more than 30 house church
leaders were gathered, according China Aid Association.
Pastor Li's home was searched and all of the believers arrested. Thirteen of the leaders were sentenced to 15 days of administrative detention. Five other leaders, including Pastor Li, were placed under criminal detention and are likely to face formal criminal indictment or up to three years of "re-education through labor." The remaining leaders have been released.
The Voice of the Martyrs has supported persecuted Christians in China for more than 30 years. Ask God to give wisdom and guidance to the imprisoned leaders and their families. Pray for an end to crackdowns against believers in China.
