We would like to thank those of you who prayed for and even wrote Yang Caizhen while she was in prison. We are happy to share that she is now out of prison, but she was released in very poor health.
Our sister ministry, VOM Canada is reporting on their blog today that Yang was released in February, but is still very ill.
In September 2009, Yang Caizhen and four other members of the Fushan church in Linfen, Shanxi province, were sentenced to two to several years of criminal detention for organizing a prayer rally. She has been ill and in the hospital several times since her arrest and was reportedly released in February due to her poor health. At last report, she was still in a very fragile state.
We rejoice in Yang's release and ask for your prayers today for her complete healing and witness for Christ.
