Elder Zhang from Renai Reformed Church was arrested on 16th March when a gathering at the Church was forcibly broken up. After his arrest, Elder Zhang’s home was searched and a computer, cell phone and other items belonging to his wife was confiscated. The homes of other church members were also raided.
When Elder Zhang’s administrative arrest was completed on 28th March, it was expected that he would be released. But instead, he was transferred to criminal detention on allegations of fraud. Attempts have been made for Elder Zhang’s lawyer to meet with him, but the requests have been denied.
Pray that Elder Zhang will have a deep awareness of God’s reassuring presence throughout his detainment, filling him with peace and fortifying his spirit. Pray for his release soon
Pray that his wife and family, as well as the congregants of his church, will find strength in the Lord through this time of trial.
