❗️Early Rain Church leader Li Yingqiang and three other key members are now suspected of “inciting subversion”, and not allowed to meet lawyers, according to sources knowledgeable about the case.

Chinese govt's detained the leader + key members of underground Protestant church, the Early Rain Covenant Church. There's been a string of arrests of members of prominent “house churches” in China in past year. They should be freed, faith isn't a crime: hrw.org/news/2026/01/0…

Let us pray that Pope Leo takes a bolder and braver and more supportive stance towards Cardinal Zen than his two precedessors.

#HongKong's Cardinal Zen is reportedly in Rome for the consistory & has met Pope Leo. This presumably means he applied to the HK court to get his passport back, as when last reported, he was still technically "under investigation" following his 2022 "national security" arrest.

How the dark scourge of this Christmas crackdown contrasts with the joy and hope of China’s Christians, and their fellow believers worldwide, in this celebratory season in the Christian calendar.

We are indebted to Elder Li Yingqiang for his wise leadership of the Autumn Rain Church and for keeping the world informed of widening policy of the CCP to make Christianity a pawn of the Party. It will not succeed.
