Strong Advocate of the Persecuted Church Receives Award

February 7th, Bob Fu, who is a leading advocate for the persecuted church in China, received the 2007 John Leland Religious Liberty Award for his service to the Lord and the persecuted church, from Richard Land, the President of the  Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

In an article posted at the Baptist Press website, Bob Fu is described as...

-- "a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus as pastor of a house church and leader of a Bible school in the People's Republic of China, a nation politically hostile toward Christianity;

-- "a bold witness for his faith who endured arrest and imprisonment by Chinese authorities;

-- "a brave refugee to the United States who inspires the Christian community to fight for the liberation of their brothers and sisters in Christ living in the grips of persecution."

We here, at The Voice of the Martyrs, want to publicly congratulate Bob Fu for his award.  It is well deserved.
