CHINA - Prominent Chinese pastor detained by officials

Pastor Hua Huiqi was seized by Chinese officials in Fengtai District in Beijing on September 17, according to a September 17 report from ChinaAid. At approximately 5:30 p.m., Pastor Hua called his wife, Ju Mei, on his cell phone and told her that he had been forced into a Public Security Bureau vehicle while on his way to a dinner meeting. Less than half-an-hour later, Hua phoned his wife again and told her that officials had taken him to an unknown location. The phone line then went dead. When VOMC partners inquired about Hua, officials told them he was in their custody but refused to disclose his condition or location. A week before Pastor Hua's arrest, a vocational training ministry that he is involved in was raided by officials

Pray that Pastor Hua will be released.

Ask God to give comfort and strength to his family in this time.

Pray for spiritual and physical strength for the thousands of Christians in prison for their faith in Christ.

Michelle,
I wasn't trying to offend anyone on limiting it to USA...just didn't want my aunt to have to pay too much in shipping since she is so graciously offering to donate it and ship it. However, I just got back from the doctor and she had emailed me. She saw your comment and she said, to definitely open it to Canada if that would open the possibility of a donation. So,if you are still interested, feel free to bid away. My aunt said she would LOVE to send it to you in Canada. :) Thank you so much!
Blessings,
Amy
