Prisoner Profile of Ms. Li Ying

If you're like me when you read stories of our persecuted brethren your heart is moved to action.  This morning as I  was looking at the Prisoner Alert site and reading the story of Li Ying, everything within me wants to give this dear sister a big warm hug.  In fact, I wonder when the last time was when she had a hug.  Wow...I can't even begin to know.

What I do know though is that you and I can make a difference in her life and so far thousands have made a difference in her life.  Here's some of the content from the Prisoner Alert site that will tell you more about Li.

Chinese Christian Li Ying has been in prison more than 2000 days. She is serving a 15-year sentence for her role as editor of an underground-church magazine in China. She was the very first prisoner featured on www.prisoneralert.com. At that time, the email list consisted of barely more than 2000 people. More than 7,400 letters have been printed off of the site to be sent to her since that original posting in February, 2004.

The letters that Prisoner Alert visitors write make a difference! Once when her mother went to the prison to visit Li Ying, the warden asked, “How many relatives do you have in America?” He had noted all the letters arriving for Li Ying! In recent months, Li Ying’s mother has not been allowed to visit as prison officials tried to get Li Ying to recant her faith and sign a document saying that she is part of an “evil cult.” Yet she has remained faithful to Christ and refused to sign.
