Communist officials go to great efforts to convince jailed Christians that they are alone. That iron bars and thick walls block their voices and testimonies.
But your voice and prayers have ensured news about jailed Pastor Shen Shaochun can be shared with the globe after 5.5 years of total silence!
Communist officials arrested Pastor Shen back in 2018 for "illegal border crossings" due to his work in Myanmar to minister. As with the case of Pastor John Cao, the charge of 'crossing the border illegally' is a tactic by the Communist Party to stop the spread of the Gospel. Pastor Shen is scheduled to be released in September 2025. We've not heard any news about him since he went to jail about 5.5 years ago! But your insistence on breaking the Communist Party's 'wall of silence' empowered our colleagues and reporting teams to remain steadfast and search for years until we were able to get an update regarding Pastor Shen! Sadly, he desperately needs your prayers and support. We've learned he is suffering from high blood pressure, aching teeth, and is losing eyesight in his right eye due to tough prison conditions. He's already blind in his left eye due to a past disease.
Please join me and so many others in prayer for Pastor Shen. And if you'd like to equip our team to keep searching tirelessly for updates about prisoners we've not heard any news from in years, a gift towards our emergency fund ensures we can remain focused on those Communist officials persecute and then try to hide from the outside world, until we are able to get an update and then support however we can! Thank you for bringing Pastor Shen's testimony and story for the world to see, and for bringing him hope amid the Communist Party's lies that tried to convince him he would serve out his sentence in silence.
Serving the persecuted with you
