Elder Zhang’s trial was held in November 2022 but his family received no news of the verdict or outcome of the hearing. In spite of this, his lawyers reported that Elder Zhang remains optimistic and in good spirits.
Whilst in prison however, Elder Zhang suffered a bout of Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), resulting in severe pain. He was sent to Sanjiang hospital for treatment in early August but no update was provided to his family about his condition and current health or well-being in prison.
Pray for divine healing for Elder Zhang. Pray for his physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Pray that he will be an effective witness for Christ in prison and many, inmates and prison guards, will believe in the Lord and receive salvation. Pray for his release soon. Pray that his family will find peace and comfort from the Lord during this challenging time.
