Zhao Weikai, leader of the Xuncheng (Zion) Reformed Church, was arrested in July 2021 after authorities raided his home and discovered video documentaries on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest and the 2009 Xinjiang protests.
On 30th December, Zhao’s wife, Li, was informed that Zhao has been convicted of “illegally holding materials promoting terrorism and extremism” and sentenced to 2 years in prison and has to also pay a fine. Li was not allowed to attend her husband’s trial, which was held on 15th December.
Zhao suffers from liver disease and there are concerns about his health as he begins to serve his prison sentence.
Pray that for healing and improvement in Zhao’s medical condition. Pray that God will strengthen and sustain him during his imprisonment. Pray that Zhao will continue to shine for Jesus and many fellow inmates and prison guards will have the opportunity to hear the gospel and receive salvation.
Pray that Zhao’s family will receive God’s comfort, provision and peace during this time of separation. Pray for his early release.
